Method Detail

getChildConversations

StorableInStateRepository[] getChildConversations()

Returns an array of all conversations having this one as a parent.

finish

void finish()

Indicate that this conversation is no longer required. It will be removed from the StateRepository. No other methods on a Conversation can be called once finish() has been invoked.

Note that this does not close the conversation with the remote supplier. You should normally call a different method, such as WSResourceLifetime.destroy().

isFinished

boolean isFinished()

Returns true if the finish method has been called.

getService

RemoteService getService()

Return the conversation's RemoteService.

outOfDate

void outOfDate()

Used by the StateRepository if the server returns new resource with our ID.
