The org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.CommandExecutorImpl#execute(Command<T>)
method is used to execute a command within the Activiti engine.
Here's an overview of how this method works:
-
Command Execution: This method takes a parameter of type
org.activiti.engine.impl.interceptor.Command<T>
, which represents a command to be executed within the Activiti engine. TheCommand<T>
interface is a generic interface with a single methodT execute(CommandContext commandContext)
. This method is called when the command is executed, and it typically performs some operation within the Activiti engine. -
Command Context: The
Command<T>
interface operates within the context of aCommandContext
, which provides access to various services and resources within the Activiti engine, such as theProcessEngineConfiguration
,RepositoryService
,RuntimeService
,TaskService
, etc. TheCommandExecutorImpl
is responsible for managing the execution of commands and providing the necessary context for them to execute. -
Command Execution Strategy: The
CommandExecutorImpl
determines the execution strategy for the command, which can vary depending on factors such as whether the command is synchronous or asynchronous, whether it requires a transaction, etc. The command may be executed immediately within the current thread, queued for asynchronous execution, or scheduled for execution within a transaction. -
Result Handling: Once the command is executed, the result (if any) is returned to the caller. The result type
T
is determined by the type parameter of theCommand<T>
interface.
Here's an example of how you might use this method to execute a command within your Java code:
import org.activiti.engine.impl.interceptor.Command;
import org.activiti.engine.impl.interceptor.CommandContext;
import org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.CommandExecutorImpl;
public class CustomCommandExecutor {
private CommandExecutorImpl commandExecutor;
public CustomCommandExecutor(CommandExecutorImpl commandExecutor) {
this.commandExecutor = commandExecutor;
}
public <T> T executeCommand(Command<T> command) {
return commandExecutor.execute(command);
}
// Example of a custom command implementation
public static class CustomCommand implements Command<String> {
@Override
public String execute(CommandContext commandContext) {
// Custom logic to be executed within the Activiti engine
return "Result of custom command";
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
CustomCommandExecutor customCommandExecutor = new CustomCommandExecutor(new CommandExecutorImpl());
// Execute a custom command
String result = customCommandExecutor.executeCommand(new CustomCommand());
System.out.println("Result: " + result);
}
}
In this example, we define a custom command (CustomCommand
) that implements the Command<String>
interface. This command simply returns a string as its result. We then create an instance of CustomCommandExecutor
and use it to execute the custom command, printing the result to the console.
