  • Method Details

    • updateState

      Workflow.Effect.PersistenceEffectBuilder<S> updateState(S newState)

    • pause

      Workflow.Effect.TransitionalEffect<Void> pause()
      Pause the workflow execution and wait for an external input, e.g. via command handler.

    • transitionTo

      <I> Workflow.Effect.TransitionalEffect<Void> transitionTo(String stepName, I input)
      Defines the next step to which the workflow should transition to.

      The step definition identified by stepName must have an input parameter of type I. In other words, the next step call (or asyncCall) must have been defined with a Function that accepts an input parameter of type I.

      Parameters:
      stepName - The step name that should be executed next.
      input - The input param for the next step.

    • transitionTo

      Workflow.Effect.TransitionalEffect<Void> transitionTo(String stepName)
      Defines the next step to which the workflow should transition to.

      The step definition identified by stepName must not have an input parameter. In other words, the next step call (or asyncCall) must have been defined with a Supplier function.

      Parameters:
      stepName - The step name that should be executed next.

    • end

      Workflow.Effect.TransitionalEffect<Void> end()
      Finish the workflow execution. After transition to end, no more transitions are allowed.
