is Async Event Handling possible in Confluence?

Angel Ruiz_m6y0h0

Hi there,

Looking at the Javadocs I have seen the annotation @AsynchronousPreferred. After performing some tests it seems it is working as expected, but I cannot find a single piece of official documentation and forum post mentioning it in the context of implementing a Confluence app.

In fact the documentation emphasizes that "Confluence events are currently processed synchronously"

Can anyone confirm the annotation above is indeed how you do async event handling in Confluence please?

Cheers,

Angel,

I'm not a developer and thus not terribly familiar with this process, but mentions of the annotation in threads on jira.atlassian.com mention that you should mark specific events with the annotation. For example:

Mark with the com.atlassian.event.api.AsynchronousPreferred annotation, which will cause the event to be delivered on a separate thread, with proper transaction management.

I believe this should clarify things for you, but if not, please let us know what you're having trouble with, or perhaps reach out to our other Community, which is specific for development related questions:

Hi Shannon,

yes I know. I have even tested it and seems to be working as expected. I just wanted some short of official confirmation from Atlassian because apart for the Javadoc, there is no other source of information around this mechanism and I find it weird, because for certain scenarios it can be very handy.

Thanks for your attention!

I'm just finding the information that I think you already looked at:

https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-event/3.0.0/apidocs/com/atlassian/event/api/AsynchronousPreferred.html

Is there any specific information you were looking to find out about it? I can try to find out for you.

Regards,

Shannon

I was looking for this mechanism to be mentioned in this page or similar: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/event-listener-module/?_ga=2.250767302.176571999.1549267963-1297549671.1518771007
