create

public static <T> ValueFuture<T> create()

Creates a new ValueFuture in the default state.

set

public boolean set(V newValue)

Sets the value of this future. This method will return true if the value was successfully set, or false if the future has already been set or cancelled.

Overrides:

set in class AbstractFuture<V>

Parameters:

newValue - the value the future should hold.

Returns:

true if the value was successfully set.

setException

public boolean setException(Throwable t)

Sets the future to having failed with the given exception. This exception will be wrapped in an ExecutionException and thrown from the get methods. This method will return true if the exception was successfully set, or false if the future has already been set or cancelled.

Overrides:

setException in class AbstractFuture<V>

Parameters:

t - the exception the future should hold.

Returns:

true if the exception was successfully set.

cancel

public boolean cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning)

A ValueFuture is never considered in the running state, so the mayInterruptIfRunning argument is ignored.

Specified by:

cancel in interface Future<V>

Overrides:

cancel in class AbstractFuture<V>
