  59  * <p>
  60  *     A fully observable implementation of a {@link FutureTask}. {@code Task} exposes
  61  *     additional state and observable properties useful for programming asynchronous
  62  *     tasks in JavaFX, as defined in the {@link Worker} interface. An implementation
  63  *     of Task must override the {@link javafx.concurrent.Task#call()} method. This method
  64  *     is invoked on the background thread. Any state which is used in this method
  65  *     must be safe to read and write from a background thread. For example, manipulating
  66  *     a live scene graph from this method is unsafe and will result in runtime
  67  *     exceptions.
  68  * </p>
  69  * <p>
  70  *     Tasks are flexible and extremely useful for the encapsulation of "work". Because
  71  *     {@link Service} is designed to execute a Task, any Tasks defined by the application
  72  *     or library code can easily be used with a Service. Likewise, since Task extends
  73  *     from FutureTask, it is very easy and natural to use a Task with the java concurrency
  74  *     {@link java.util.concurrent.Executor} API. Since a Task is Runnable, you
  75  *     can also call it directly (by invoking the {@link javafx.concurrent.Task#run()} method)
  76  *     from another background thread. This allows for composition of work, or pass it to
  77  *     a new Thread constructed and executed manually. Finally, since you can
  78  *     manually create a new Thread, passing it a Runnable, it is possible to use
  79  *     the following idiom:
  80  *     <pre><code>
  81  *         Thread th = new Thread(task);
  82  *         th.setDaemon(true);
  83  *         th.start();
  84  *     </code></pre>
  85  *     Note that this code sets the daemon flag of the Thread to true. If you
  86  *     want a background thread to prevent the VM from existing after the last
  87  *     stage is closed, then you would want daemon to be false. However, if
  88  *     you want the background threads to simply terminate after all the
  89  *     stages are closed, then you must set daemon to true.
  90  * </p>
  91  * <p>
  92  *     Although {@link java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService} defines several methods which
  93  *     take a Runnable, you should generally limit yourself to using the <code>execute</code>
  94  *     method inherited from {@link java.util.concurrent.Executor}.
  95  * </p>
  96  * <p>
  97  *     As with FutureTask, a Task is a one-shot class and cannot be reused. See {@link Service}
  98  *     for a reusable {@link Worker}.
  99  * </p>
 100  * <p>
 101  *     Because the Task is designed for use with JavaFX GUI applications, it ensures
 102  *     that every change to its public properties, as well as change notifications
 103  *     for state, errors, and for event handlers, all occur on the main JavaFX application
 104  *     thread. Accessing these properties from a background thread (including the
 105  *     {@link #call()} method) will result in runtime exceptions being raised. The only exception
 106  *     to this, is when initially configuring a Task, which may safely be done
 107  *     from any thread. However, once the Task has been initialized and
 108  *     started, it may only thereafter be used from the FX thread (except for those methods clearly
 109  *     marked as being appropriate for the subclass to invoke from the background thread).
 110  * </p>
 111  * <p>
 112  *     It is <strong>strongly encouraged</strong> that all Tasks be initialized with
 113  *     immutable state upon which the Task will operate. This should be done by providing
 114  *     a Task constructor which takes the parameters necessary for execution of the Task.
 115  *     Immutable state makes it easy and safe to use from any thread and ensures
 116  *     correctness in the presence of multiple threads.
 117  * </p>
 118  * <p>
 119  *     In Java there is no reliable way to "kill" a thread in process. However,
 120  *     when <code>cancel</code> is called on a Task, it is important that
 121  *     the Task stop processing. A "run-away" Task might continue processing
 122  *     and updating the message, text, and progress properties even after the
 123  *     Task has been cancelled! In Java, cancelling a Task is a cooperative
 124  *     endeavor. The user of the Task will request that it be cancelled, and
 125  *     the author of the Task must check whether is has been cancelled within
 126  *     the body of the <code>call</code> method. There are two ways this can
 127  *     be done. First, the Task author may check the isCancelled method,
 128  *     inherited from <code>FutureTask</code>, to see whether the Task has
 129  *     been cancelled. Second, if the Task implementation makes use of any
 130  *     blocking calls (such as NIO InterruptibleChannels or Thread.sleep) and
 131  *     the task is cancelled while in such a blocking call, an
 132  *     InterruptedException is thrown. Task implementations which have blocking
 133  *     calls should recognize that an interrupted thread may be the signal for
 134  *     a cancelled task and should double check the isCancelled method to ensure
 135  *     that the InterruptedException was thrown due to the cancellation of the
 136  *     Task.
 137  * </p>
 138  * <h2>Examples</h2>
 139  * <p>
 140  *     The following set of examples demonstrate some of the most common uses of
 141  *     Tasks.
 142  * </p>
 143  *
 144  * <h3>A Simple Loop</h3>
 145  *
 146  * <p>
 147  *     The first example is a simple loop that does nothing particularly useful,
 148  *     but demonstrates the fundamental aspects of writing a Task correctly. This
 149  *     example will simply loop and print to standard out on each loop iteration.
 150  *     When it completes, it returns the number of times it iterated.
 151  * </p>
 152  *
 153  * <pre><code>
 154  *     Task&lt;Integer&gt; task = new Task&lt;Integer&gt;() {
 155  *         @Override protected Integer call() throws Exception {
 156  *             int iterations;
 157  *             for (iterations = 0; iterations &lt; 100000; iterations++) {
 158  *                 if (isCancelled()) {
 159  *                     break;
 160  *                 }
 161  *                 System.out.println("Iteration " + iterations);
 162  *             }
 163  *             return iterations;
 164  *         }
 165  *     };
 166  * </code></pre>
 167  *
 168  * <p>
 169  *     First, we define what type of value is returned from this Task. In this
 170  *     case, we want to return the number of times we iterated, so we will
 171  *     specify the Task to be of type Integer by using generics. Then, within
 172  *     the implementation of the <code>call</code> method, we iterate from
 173  *     0 to 100000. On each iteration, we check to see whether this Task has
 174  *     been cancelled. If it has been, then we break out of the loop and return
 175  *     the number of times we iterated. Otherwise a message is printed to
 176  *     the console and the iteration count increased and we continue looping.
 177  * </p>
 178  *
 179  * <p>
 180  *     Checking for isCancelled() in the loop body is critical, otherwise the
 181  *     developer may cancel the task, but the task will continue running
 182  *     and updating both the progress and returning the incorrect result
 183  *     from the end of the <code>call</code> method. A correct implementation
 184  *     of a Task will always check for cancellation.
 185  * </p>
 186  *
 187  * <h3>A Simple Loop With Progress Notification</h3>
 188  *
 189  * <p>
 190  *     Similar to the previous example, except this time we will modify the
 191  *     progress of the Task in each iteration. Note that we have a choice
 192  *     to make in the case of cancellation. Do we want to set the progress back
 193  *     to -1 (indeterminate) when the Task is cancelled, or do we want to leave
 194  *     the progress where it was at? In this case, lets leave the progress alone
 195  *     and only update the message on cancellation, though updating the
 196  *     progress after cancellation is a perfectly valid choice.
 197  * </p>
 198  *
 199  * <pre><code>
 200  *     Task&lt;Integer&gt; task = new Task&lt;Integer&gt;() {
 201  *         @Override protected Integer call() throws Exception {
 202  *             int iterations;
 203  *             for (iterations = 0; iterations &lt; 10000000; iterations++) {
 204  *                 if (isCancelled()) {
 205  *                     updateMessage("Cancelled");
 206  *                     break;
 207  *                 }
 208  *                 updateMessage("Iteration " + iterations);
 209  *                 updateProgress(iterations, 10000000);
 210  *             }
 211  *             return iterations;
 212  *         }
 213  *     };
 214  * </code></pre>
 215  *
 216  * <p>
 217  *     As before, within the for loop we check whether the Task has been
 218  *     cancelled. If it has been cancelled, we will update the Task's
 219  *     message to indicate that it has been cancelled, and then break as
 220  *     before. If the Task has not been cancelled, then we will update its
 221  *     message to indicate the current iteration and then update the
 222  *     progress to indicate the current progress.
 223  * </p>
 224  *
 225  * <h3>A Simple Loop With Progress Notification And Blocking Calls</h3>
 226  *
 227  * <p>
 228  *     This example adds to the previous examples a blocking call. Because a
 229  *     blocking call may thrown an InterruptedException, and because an
 230  *     InterruptedException may occur as a result of the Task being cancelled,
 231  *     we need to be sure to handle the InterruptedException and check on the
 232  *     cancel state.
 233  * </p>
 234  *
 235  * <pre><code>
 236  *     Task&lt;Integer&gt; task = new Task&lt;Integer&gt;() {
 237  *         @Override protected Integer call() throws Exception {
 238  *             int iterations;
 239  *             for (iterations = 0; iterations &lt; 1000; iterations++) {
 240  *                 if (isCancelled()) {
 241  *                     updateMessage("Cancelled");
 242  *                     break;
 243  *                 }
 244  *                 updateMessage("Iteration " + iterations);
 245  *                 updateProgress(iterations, 1000);
 246  *
 247  *                 // Now block the thread for a short time, but be sure
 248  *                 // to check the interrupted exception for cancellation!
 249  *                 try {
 250  *                     Thread.sleep(100);
 251  *                 } catch (InterruptedException interrupted) {
 252  *                     if (isCancelled()) {
 253  *                         updateMessage("Cancelled");
 254  *                         break;
 255  *                     }
 256  *                 }
 257  *             }
 258  *             return iterations;
 259  *         }
 260  *     };
 261  * </code></pre>
 262  *
 263  * <p>
 264  *     Here we have added to the body of the loop a <code>Thread.sleep</code>
 265  *     call. Since this is a blocking call, I have to handle the potential
 266  *     InterruptedException. Within the catch block, I will check whether
 267  *     the Task has been cancelled, and if so, update the message accordingly
 268  *     and break out of the loop.
 269  * </p>
 270  *
 271  * <h3>A Task Which Takes Parameters</h3>
 272  *
 273  * <p>
 274  *     Most Tasks require some parameters in order to do useful work. For
 275  *     example, a DeleteRecordTask needs the object or primary key to delete
 276  *     from the database. A ReadFileTask needs the URI of the file to be read.
 277  *     Because Tasks operate on a background thread, care must be taken to
 278  *     make sure the body of the <code>call</code> method does not read or
 279  *     modify any shared state. There are two techniques most useful for
 280  *     doing this: using final variables, and passing variables to a Task
 281  *     during construction.
 282  * </p>
 283  *
 284  * <p>
 285  *     When using a Task as an anonymous class, the most natural way to pass
 286  *     parameters to the Task is by using final variables. In this example,
 287  *     we pass to the Task the total number of times the Task should iterate.
 288  * </p>
 289  *
 290  * <pre><code>
 291  *     final int totalIterations = 9000000;
 292  *     Task&lt;Integer&gt; task = new Task&lt;Integer&gt;() {
 293  *         @Override protected Integer call() throws Exception {
 294  *             int iterations;
 295  *             for (iterations = 0; iterations &lt; totalIterations; iterations++) {
 296  *                 if (isCancelled()) {
 297  *                     updateMessage("Cancelled");
 298  *                     break;
 299  *                 }
 300  *                 updateMessage("Iteration " + iterations);
 301  *                 updateProgress(iterations, totalIterations);
 302  *             }
 303  *             return iterations;
 304  *         }
 305  *     };
 306  * </code></pre>
 307  *
 308  * <p>
 309  *     Since <code>totalIterations</code> is final, the <code>call</code>
 310  *     method can safely read it and refer to it from a background thread.
 311  * </p>
 312  *
 313  * <p>
 314  *     When writing Task libraries (as opposed to specific-use implementations),
 315  *     we need to use a different technique. In this case, I will create an
 316  *     IteratingTask which performs the same work as above. This time, since
 317  *     the IteratingTask is defined in its own file, it will need to have
 318  *     parameters passed to it in its constructor. These parameters are
 319  *     assigned to final variables.
 320  * </p>
 321  *
 322  * <pre><code>
 323  *     public class IteratingTask extends Task&lt;Integer&gt; {
 324  *         private final int totalIterations;
 325  *
 326  *         public IteratingTask(int totalIterations) {
 327  *             this.totalIterations = totalIterations;
 328  *         }
 329  *
 330  *         @Override protected Integer call() throws Exception {
 331  *             int iterations = 0;
 332  *             for (iterations = 0; iterations &lt; totalIterations; iterations++) {
 333  *                 if (isCancelled()) {
 334  *                     updateMessage("Cancelled");
 335  *                     break;
 336  *                 }
 337  *                 updateMessage("Iteration " + iterations);
 338  *                 updateProgress(iterations, totalIterations);
 339  *             }
 340  *             return iterations;
 341  *         }
 342  *     }
 343  * </code></pre>
 344  *
 345  * <p>And then when used:</p>
 346  *
 347  * <pre><code>
 348  *     IteratingTask task = new IteratingTask(8000000);
 349  * </code></pre>
 350  *
 351  * <p>In this way, parameters are passed to the IteratingTask in a safe
 352  * manner, and again, are final. Thus, the <code>call</code> method can
 353  * safely read this state from a background thread.</p>
 354  *
 355  * <p>WARNING: Do not pass mutable state to a Task and then operate on it
 356  * from a background thread. Doing so may introduce race conditions. In
 357  * particular, suppose you had a SaveCustomerTask which took a Customer
 358  * in its constructor. Although the SaveCustomerTask may have a final
 359  * reference to the Customer, if the Customer object is mutable, then it
 360  * is possible that both the SaveCustomerTask and some other application code
 361  * will be reading or modifying the state of the Customer from different
 362  * threads. Be very careful in such cases, that while a mutable object such
 363  * as this Customer is being used from a background thread, that it is
 364  * not being used also from another thread. In particular, if the background
 365  * thread is reading data from the database and updating the Customer object,
 366  * and the Customer object is bound to scene graph nodes (such as UI
 367  * controls), then there could be a violation of threading rules! For such
 368  * cases, modify the Customer object from the FX Application Thread rather
 369  * than from the background thread.</p>
 370  *
 371  * <pre><code>
 372  *     public class UpdateCustomerTask extends Task&lt;Customer&gt; {
 373  *         private final Customer customer;
 374  *
 375  *         public UpdateCustomerTask(Customer customer) {
 376  *             this.customer = customer;
 377  *         }
 378  *
 379  *         @Override protected Customer call() throws Exception {
 380  *             // pseudo-code:

 397  * <h3>A Task Which Returns No Value</h3>
 398  *
 399  * <p>
 400  *     Many, if not most, Tasks should return a value upon completion. For
 401  *     CRUD Tasks, one would expect that a "Create" Task would return the newly
 402  *     created object or primary key, a "Read" Task would return the read
 403  *     object, an "Update" task would return the number of records updated,
 404  *     and a "Delete" task would return the number of records deleted.
 405  * </p>
 406  *
 407  * <p>
 408  *     However sometimes there just isn't anything truly useful to return.
 409  *     For example, I might have a Task which writes to a file. Task has built
 410  *     into it a mechanism for indicating whether it has succeeded or failed
 411  *     along with the number of bytes written (the progress), and thus there is
 412  *     nothing really for me to return. In such a case, you can use the Void
 413  *     type. This is a special type in the Java language which can only be
 414  *     assigned the value of <code>null</code>. You would use it as follows:
 415  * </p>
 416  *
 417  * <pre><code>
 418  *     final String filePath = "/foo.txt";
 419  *     final String contents = "Some contents";
 420  *     Task&lt;Void&gt; task = new Task&lt;Void&gt;() {
 421  *         @Override protected Void call() throws Exception {
 422  *             File file = new File(filePath);
 423  *             FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
 424  *             // ... and other code to write the contents ...
 425  *
 426  *             // Return null at the end of a Task of type Void
 427  *             return null;
 428  *         }
 429  *     };
 430  * </code></pre>
 431  *
 432  * <h3>A Task Which Returns An ObservableList</h3>
 433  *
 434  * <p>Because the ListView, TableView, and other UI controls and scene graph
 435  * nodes make use of ObservableList, it is common to want to create and return
 436  * an ObservableList from a Task. When you do not care to display intermediate
 437  * values, the easiest way to correctly write such a Task is simply to
 438  * construct an ObservableList within the <code>call</code> method, and then
 439  * return it at the conclusion of the Task.</p>
 440  *
 441  * <pre><code>
 442  *     Task&lt;ObservableList&lt;Rectangle&gt;&gt; task = new Task&lt;ObservableList&lt;Rectangle&gt;&gt;() {
 443  *         @Override protected ObservableList&lt;Rectangle&gt; call() throws Exception {
 444  *             updateMessage("Creating Rectangles");
 445  *             ObservableList&lt;Rectangle&gt; results = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
 446  *             for (int i=0; i<100; i++) {
 447  *                 if (isCancelled()) break;
 448  *                 Rectangle r = new Rectangle(10, 10);
 449  *                 r.setX(10 * i);
 450  *                 results.add(r);
 451  *                 updateProgress(i, 100);
 452  *             }
 453  *             return results;
 454  *         }
 455  *     };
 456  * </code></pre>
 457  *
 458  * <p>In the above example, we are going to create 100 rectangles and return
 459  * them from this task. An ObservableList is created within the
 460  * <code>call</code> method, populated, and then returned.</p>
 461  *
 462  * <h3>A Task Which Returns Partial Results</h3>
 463  *
 464  * <p>Sometimes you want to create a Task which will return partial results.
 465  * Perhaps you are building a complex scene graph and want to show the
 466  * scene graph as it is being constructed. Or perhaps you are reading a large
 467  * amount of data over the network and want to display the entries in a
 468  * TableView as the data is arriving. In such cases, there is some shared state
 469  * available both to the FX Application Thread and the background thread.
 470  * Great care must be taken to <strong>never update shared state from any
 471  * thread other than the FX Application Thread</strong>.</p>
 472  *
 473  * <p>The easiest way to do this is to take advantage of the {@link #updateValue(Object)} method.
 474  * This method may be called repeatedly from the background thread. Updates are coalesced to
 475  * prevent saturation of the FX event queue. This means you can call it as frequently as
 476  * you like from the background thread but only the most recent set is ultimately set.</p>
 477  *
 478  * <pre><code>
 479  *     Task&lt;Long&gt; task = new Task&lt;Long&gt;() {
 480  *         @Override protected Long call() throws Exception {
 481  *             long a=0;
 482  *             long b=1;
 483  *             for (long i = 0; i &lt; Long.MAX_VALUE; i++){
 484  *                 updateValue(a);
 485  *                 a += b;
 486  *                 b = a - b;
 487  *             }
 488  *             return a;
 489  *         }
 490  *     };
 491  * </code></pre>
 492  *
 493  * <p>Another way to do this is to expose a new property on the Task
 494  * which will represent the partial result. Then make sure to use
 495  * <code>Platform.runLater</code> when updating the partial result.</p>
 496  *
 497  * <pre><code>
 498  *     Task&lt;Long&gt; task = new Task&lt;Long&gt;() {
 499  *         @Override protected Long call() throws Exception {
 500  *             long a=0;
 501  *             long b=1;
 502  *             for (long i = 0; i &lt; Long.MAX_VALUE; i++){
 503  *                 final long v = a;
 504  *                 Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
 505  *                     @Override public void run() {
 506  *                         updateValue(v);
 507  *                     }
 508  *                 }
 509  *                 a += b;
 510  *                 b = a - b;
 511  *             }
 512  *             return a;
 513  *         }
 514  *     };
 515  * </code></pre>
 516  *
 517  * <p>Suppose instead of updating a single value, you want to populate an ObservableList
 518  * with results as they are obtained. One approach is to expose a new property on the Task
 519  * which will represent the partial result. Then make sure to use
 520  * <code>Platform.runLater</code> when adding new items to the partial
 521  * result.</p>
 522  *
 523  * <pre><code>
 524  *     public class PartialResultsTask extends Task&lt;ObservableList&lt;Rectangle&gt;&gt; {
 525  *         // Uses Java 7 diamond operator
 526  *         private ReadOnlyObjectWrapper<ObservableList<Rectangle>> partialResults =
 527  *                 new ReadOnlyObjectWrapper<>(this, "partialResults",

 552  *
 553  * <h3>A Task Which Modifies The Scene Graph</h3>
 554  *
 555  * <p>Generally, Tasks should not interact directly with the UI. Doing so
 556  * creates a tight coupling between a specific Task implementation and a
 557  * specific part of your UI. However, when you do want to create such a
 558  * coupling, you must ensure that you use <code>Platform.runLater</code>
 559  * so that any modifications of the scene graph occur on the
 560  * FX Application Thread.</p>
 561  *
 562  * <pre><code>
 563  *     final Group group = new Group();
 564  *     Task&lt;Void&gt; task = new Task&lt;Void&gt;() {
 565  *         @Override protected Void call() throws Exception {
 566  *             for (int i=0; i<100; i++) {
 567  *                 if (isCancelled()) break;
 568  *                 final Rectangle r = new Rectangle(10, 10);
 569  *                 r.setX(10 * i);
 570  *                 Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
 571  *                     @Override public void run() {
 572  *                         group.getChildren().add(r);
 573  *                     }
 574  *                 });
 575  *             }
 576  *             return null;
 577  *         }
 578  *     };
 579  * </code></pre>
 580  *
 581  * <h3>Reacting To State Changes Generically</h3>
 582  *
 583  * <p>Sometimes you may want to write a Task which updates its progress,
 584  * message, text, or in some other way reacts whenever a state change
 585  * happens on the Task. For example, you may want to change the status
 586  * message on the Task on Failure, Success, Running, or Cancelled state changes.
 587  * </p>
 588  * <pre><code>
 589  *     Task&lt;Integer&gt; task = new Task&lt;Integer&gt;() {
 590  *         @Override protected Integer call() throws Exception {
 591  *             int iterations = 0;
 592  *             for (iterations = 0; iterations &lt; 100000; iterations++) {

 594  *                     break;
