Interface IAquimaSession

All Known Subinterfaces:
IExternalSession
public interface IAquimaSession extends Serializable, IAquimaSessionLifecycle, com.aquima.interactions.foundation.concurrent.Interruptible
Interface for portal sessions used in web based applications.

IAquimaSessions are interruptible. Interrupting a session has the following effects:

  • if a flow is currently executing in this session, it will be interrupted as soon as it exits from the currently executing service call or function call
  • if a flow has not yet started in this session, attempting to start a session will result in an InterruptedException
