Method Summary

Pair<Request,com.google.common.base.Optional<LinearAcceptor>>

apply(Request data) Transforms supplied data and returns transformed data together with a processing continuation in the form of a <data, continuation> pair.

Method Detail

apply

Pair<Request,com.google.common.base.Optional<LinearAcceptor>> apply(Request data)

Transforms supplied data and returns transformed data together with a processing continuation in the form of a <data, continuation> pair.

The returned continuation is (optionally) the next linear acceptor that should be invoked. A present continuation indicates the processing is expected to continue further, while absence of a continuation indicates that the unidirectional request transformation passed its final stage.

Parameters:

data - data to be transformed.

Returns:

a pair of transformed data and processing continuation; the transformed data is on the left and the processing continuation on the right side of the pair.
