Interface ParallelResultHandler<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the result objects to be returned by the handler

All Superinterfaces:

ResultHandler<T>

public interface ParallelResultHandler<T>
extends ResultHandler<T>

Extends the ResultHandler interface to allow parallel-processing of results. If an instance of a class that implements this interface is passed to LdapService.search() or LdapService.searchSmall() then it will be called in multiple threads simultaneously to speed up processing of results. This is only worth doing if the processing will be slow - for example if it makes a further LDAP query. Using it for trivial processing is likely to slow things down rather than speed them up.

Implementations of this interface must be thread-safe.
