/**
* An injectable JAX-RS asynchronous response that provides means for asynchronous server side
* response processing.
*
* A new instance of {@code AsyncResponse} may be injected into a
* {@link javax.ws.rs.HttpMethod resource or sub-resource method} parameter using
* the {@link Suspended @Suspend} annotation.
*
* Each asynchronous response instance is bound to the running request and can be used to
* asynchronously provide the request processing result or otherwise manipulate the suspended
* client connection. The available operations include:
*
* - updating suspended state data (time-out value, response ...)
* - resuming the suspended request processing
* - canceling the suspended request processing
*
*
*
* Following example demonstrates the use of the {@code AsyncResponse} for asynchronous
* HTTP request processing:
*
*
* @Path("/messages/next")
* public class MessagingResource {
* private static final BlockingQueue<AsyncResponse> suspended =
* new ArrayBlockingQueue<AsyncResponse>(5);
*
* @GET
* public void readMessage(@Suspended AsyncResponse ar) throws InterruptedException {
* suspended.put(ar);
* }
*
* @POST
* public String postMessage(final String message) throws InterruptedException {
* final AsyncResponse ar = suspended.take();
* ar.resume(message); // resumes the processing of one GET request
* return "Message sent";
* }
* }
*
*
* If the asynchronous response was suspended with a positive timeout value, and has
* not been explicitly resumed before the timeout has expired, the processing
* will be resumed once the specified timeout threshold is reached, provided a positive
* timeout value was set on the response.
*
*
* By default a timed-out asynchronous response is resumed with a {@link javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException}
* that has {@link javax.ws.rs.core.Response.Status#SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE HTTP 503 (Service unavailable)}
* error response status code set. This default behavior may be overridden by
* {@link AsyncResponse#setTimeoutHandler(TimeoutHandler) setting} a custom {@link TimeoutHandler time-out handler}.
*
*

* for this method to succeed.
*
*
* By executing this method, the request is guaranteed to complete either successfully or
