/**
* This interface models a WorkManager which provides a facility
* to submit Work instances for execution. This frees the user
* from having to create Java threads directly to do work. Further, this
* allows efficient pooling of thread resources and more control over thread
* usage.
*
* The various stages in Work processing are:
*
* - work submit: A
Work instance is being submitted for
* execution. The Work instance could either be accepted or
* rejected with a WorkRejectedException set to an appropriate
* error code.
*
* - work accepted: The submitted
Work instance has been
* accepted. The accepted Work instance could either start
* execution or could be rejected again with a
* WorkRejectedException set to an appropriate error code.
* There is no guarantee on when the execution would start unless a start
* timeout duration is specified. When a start timeout is specified, the
* Work execution must be started within the specified
* duration (not a real-time guarantee), failing which a
* WorkRejectedException set to an error code
* (WorkRejected.TIMED_OUT) is thrown.
*
* - work rejected: The
Work instance has been rejected.
* The Work instance could be rejected during Work
* submittal or after the Work instance has been accepted
* (but before Work instance starts execution). The rejection could be due
* to internal factors or start timeout expiration. A
* WorkRejectedException with an appropriate error code
* (indicates the reason) is thrown in both cases.
*
* - work started: The execution of the
Work
* instance has started. This means that a thread
* has been allocated for its execution. But this
* does not guarantee that the allocated thread has been scheduled to run
* on a CPU resource. Once execution is started, the allocated thread
* sets up an appropriate execution context (transaction , security, etc)
* and calls Work.run(). Note, any exception thrown during execution context
* setup or Work.run() leads to completion of processing.
*
* - work completed: The execution of the
Work has been
* completed. The execution could complete with or without an exception.
* The WorkManager catches any exception thrown during
* Work processing (which includes execution context setup),
* and wraps it with a WorkCompletedException.
