Interface AsyncCallback<T>

Type Parameters:
  `T` - The type of the return value that was declared in the synchronous version of the method. If the return type is a primitive, use the boxed version of that primitive (for example, an `int` return type becomes an `Integer` type argument, and a `void` return type becomes a `Void` type argument, which is always `null`).

All Known Implementing Classes:
  SimpleRemoteLogHandler.DefaultCallback

    public interface AsyncCallback<T>

The primary interface a caller must implement to receive a response from a remote procedure call.

If an RPC is successful, then `onSuccess(Object)` is called, otherwise `onFailure(Throwable)` is called.

Each callable asynchronous method corresponds to a method in the correlated service interface. The asynchronous method always takes an `AsyncCallback<T>` as its last parameter, where `T` is the return type of the correlated synchronous method.

As an example, suppose the service interface defines a method called `getShapes` as follows:

     Shape[] getShapes(String databaseName) throws ShapeException, DbException;

Its asynchronous counterpart method be declared as:

     void getShapes(String databaseName, AsyncCallback<Shape[]> callback);

Note that `throws` declaration is not repeated in the async version.

A call with a typical use of `AsyncCallback` might look like this:

     service.getShapes(dbName, new AsyncCallback<Shape[]>() {
       public void onSuccess(Shape[] result) {
         // It's always safe to downcast to the known return type.
         controller.processShapes(result);
       }

       public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
         // Convenient way to find out which exception was thrown.
         try {
           throw caught;
         } catch (IncompatibleRemoteServiceException e) {
           // this client is not compatible with the server; cleanup and refresh the
           // browser
         } catch (InvocationException e) {
           // the call didn't complete cleanly
         } catch (ShapeException e) {
           // one of the 'throws' from the original method
         } catch (DbException e) {
           // one of the 'throws' from the original method
         } catch (Throwable e) {
           // last resort -- a very unexpected exception
         }
       }
     });

Method Summary
`void` | `onFailure(java.lang.Throwable caught)` Called when an asynchronous call fails to complete normally.
`void` | `onSuccess(T result)` Called when an asynchronous call completes successfully.

Method Detail

### onFailure

    void onFailure(java.lang.Throwable caught)

  Called when an asynchronous call fails to complete normally. `IncompatibleRemoteServiceException`s, `InvocationException`s, or checked exceptions thrown by the service method are examples of the type of failures that can be passed to this method.

  If `caught` is an instance of an `IncompatibleRemoteServiceException` the application should try to get into a state where a browser refresh can be safely done.

  Parameters:
    `caught` - failure encountered while executing a remote procedure call

### onSuccess

    void onSuccess(T result)

  Called when an asynchronous call completes successfully.

  Parameters:
    `result` - the return value of the remote produced call
