35. Giant leap for CFML

36. Age of N.B.P.

37. 5 Major Features

38. cbFutures
5 Major Features

39. cbFutures
CompletableFutures for CFML
Async Pipelines
Expressive DSL for async/parallel computations
For all CFML, not only ColdBox
Matches almost 90% of the Java API++
Full session on this topic

40. • Too over-simplistic
• Threads limited
• Cannot be completed manually
• No concept of a completion stage pipeline
• No control of what executor runs the task
• No way to trap the exceptions and recover
• No way to do parallel computations
• No way to get a result from a computation, except by
using a shared scope
• Using a shared scope causes concurrency
• You must manually track, name and pull information
from the threads
Why not cfthread?
<cfthread>
cbFutures

41. • Backed by java.util.concurrent.Future
• Simplistic error handler
• No way to recover
• No way to continue executing pipelines
• No way to choose/reuse the executor
• No way to choose/reuse the executor to run the sub-sequent then() operations.
• Lucee actually creates a new singleThreadExecutor for EVERY then() operation.
• No way to operate on multiple futures at once
• No way to have one future win against multiple future operations
• No way to combine futures
• No way to compose futures
• No ability to schedule tasks
• No ability to run period tasks
• No ability to delay the execution of tasks
• Only works with closures, does not work on actually calling component methods
Why not CF runAsync()
runAsync()cbFutures

42. • all()
• allApply()
• anyOf()
cbFutures - Rich API
Parallel Tasks
• cancel()
• complete()
• completedFuture()
• get()
• getNow()
• run(), runAsync()
• then(), thenAsync()
• thenCombine()
• thenCompose()
• withTimeout()
Pipelines
• isCancelled()
• isCompletedExceptionally()
• isDone()
Status
Exception Handling
• completeWithTimeout()
• completeWithException()
• onException()
• orTimeout()
• handle()
