Continuations library for JavaRIFE is an open source Java web application framework which allows web applications to benefit from first-class continuations. Now, RIFE's pure Java continuation engine, which uses Java bytecode manipulation to implement continuations, has been extracted into a standalone Java library: Announcing RIFE/Continuations, pure Java continuations for everyone The immediate motivation for doing this was to achieve support for continuations in the WebWork application framework, which now supports them it its latest beta. Along similar lines, there's also the Apache Jakarta project, Commons Javaflow. From a language design perspective, it's interesting to see features like this being introduced without modifying the language implementation. Other examples of continuations being added to languages, as in Stackless Python and the Javascript implementation Rhino with Continuations, have been done by forking the language implementation, which of course isn't as practical in Java's case. |
