Interface Flushable

All Known Implementing Classes:

CompositeComponentImpl, CompositeComponentImpl.ExtendedCompositeComponentImpl

public interface Flushable
extends Flushable

This mixin might be implemented by a component in order to provide flush facilities. A dedicated interface has been created just extending Java's Flushable interface to lift it onto the component's layer.

ATTENTION: When implementing flush functionality, use this Flushable, though when testing for reset functionality, use Flushable (instanceof)!

Method Detail

flush

void flush()
    throws OpenException

Specified by:

flush in interface Flushable

Throws:

OpenException

flushUnchecked

default void flushUnchecked()

Flushes the component by calling flush() without you to require catching a OpenException.

Throws:

org.refcodes.exception.HiddenException - encapsulates the cause and is thrown upon encountering a OpenException exception

isFlushable

default boolean isFlushable()

Determines whether the implementing instance can safely be flushed. When false is returned, then calling flush() would result in an OpenException exception to be thrown.

Returns:

True in case flush() can be called without throwing an OpenException.
