/**
* A Promise of a value.
*
*
* A Promise represents a future value. It handles the interactions for
* asynchronous processing. A {@link Deferred} object can be used to create a
* Promise and later resolve the Promise. A Promise is used by the caller of an
* asynchronous function to get the result or handle the error. The caller can
* either get a callback when the Promise is resolved with a value or an error,
* or the Promise can be used in chaining. In chaining, callbacks are provided
* that receive the resolved Promise, and a new Promise is generated that
* resolves based upon the result of a callback.
*
*
* Both {@link #onResolve(Runnable) callbacks} and
* {@link #then(Success, Failure) chaining} can be repeated any number of times,
* even after the Promise has been resolved.
*
* Example callback usage:
*
*
* final Promise<String> foo = foo();
* foo.onResolve(new Runnable() {
* public void run() {
* System.out.println(foo.getValue());
* }
* });
*
*
* Example chaining usage;
*
*
* Success<String,String> doubler = new Success<String,String>() {
* public Promise<String> call(Promise<String> p) throws Exception {
* return Promises.resolved(p.getValue()+p.getValue());
* }
* };
* final Promise<String> foo = foo().then(doubler).then(doubler);
* foo.onResolve(new Runnable() {
* public void run() {
* System.out.println(foo.getValue());
* }
* });
*
*
* @param The value type associated with this Promise.
