/**
* Inject a suspended {@link AsyncResponse} into a parameter of an invoked
* {@link javax.ws.rs.HttpMethod resource or sub-resource method}.
*
* The injected {@code AsyncResponse} instance is bound to the processing
* of the active request and can be used to resume the request processing when
* a response is available.
*
* By default there is {@link AsyncResponse#NO_TIMEOUT no suspend timeout set} and
* the asynchronous response is suspended indefinitely. The suspend timeout as well
* as a custom {@link TimeoutHandler timeout handler} can be specified programmatically
* using the {@link AsyncResponse#setTimeout(long, TimeUnit)} and
* {@link AsyncResponse#setTimeoutHandler(TimeoutHandler)} methods. For example:
*
*
* @Stateless
* @Path("/")
* public class MyEjbResource {
* …
* @GET
* @Asynchronous
* public void longRunningOperation(@Suspended AsyncResponse ar) {
* ar.setTimeoutHandler(customHandler);
* ar.setTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
* final String result = executeLongRunningOperation();
* ar.resume(result);
* }
*
* private String executeLongRunningOperation() { … }
* }
*
*
* A resource or sub-resource method that injects a suspended instance of an
* {@code AsyncResponse} using the {@code @Suspended} annotation is expected
* be declared to return {@code void} type. Methods that inject asynchronous
* response instance using the {@code @Suspended} annotation and declare a
* return type other than {@code void} MUST be detected by the the runtime and
* a warning message MUST be logged. Any response value returned from such resource
* or sub-resource method MUST be ignored by the framework:
*
*
* @Path("/messages/next")
* public class MessagingResource {
* …
* @GET
* public String readMessage(@Suspended AsyncResponse ar) {
* suspended.put(ar);
* return "This response will be ignored.";
* }
* …
* }
