Enum Class ExecutionMode

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<ExecutionMode>

com.scivicslab.pojoactor.workflow.ExecutionMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ExecutionMode>, Constable

public enum ExecutionMode
extends Enum<ExecutionMode>

Execution mode for workflow actions.

Determines how an action is executed:

• POOL - Execute on work-stealing pool (default, safe for heavy operations)
• DIRECT - Direct synchronous call (optimization for light operations)

Since:

2.7.0

Enum Constant Details

POOL

public static final ExecutionMode POOL

Execute action on work-stealing pool thread.

This is the default and recommended mode. Actions execute on real CPU threads from the work-stealing pool, preventing heavy computations from blocking virtual threads.

Use for:

• CPU-intensive operations
• Long-running computations
• Most workflow actions (safe default)

DIRECT

public static final ExecutionMode DIRECT

Execute action as direct synchronous call.

Action executes on the caller thread without going through the actor's message queue or thread pool. Lowest overhead but can block the workflow thread.

Use for:

• Very light operations (getters, setters)
• Logging
• Simple state updates
• When minimal latency is critical

Warning: Heavy operations will block the workflow thread.

Method Details

values

public static ExecutionMode[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ExecutionMode valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

fromString

public static ExecutionMode fromString(String value)

Parses execution mode from string (case-insensitive).

Parameters:

value - the string value ("pool", "direct")

Returns:

the corresponding ExecutionMode, or POOL if null/empty
