Re: [rife-users] Re: Independent RIFE Continuations

[Geert Bevin]

Hi Brian,

Please keep everything on the mailing list. However once we're diving into the development part itself, it's probably best to do that on rife...@googlegroups.com

Note though that I haven't looked at that code for years and I'm particularly strapped for time in the next two weeks. I'll do my best to help you though.

Take care,

Geert

> Thanks Geert, I'll take a look. I'm still evaluating your implementation of continuations for our product. As part of the development we would need to build a generic workflow engine around RIFE continuations. Maybe we'll be able to help maintain those libraries and work together. I'll let you know. Would you be willing to answer short questions about the implementation? If so, should I contact you directly or do you prefer questions posted to this mailing list?

Hmmm, this requires quite a bit of reading on my behalf but I do seem to remember that it supports you model as long as all classes have been instrumented. There needs to be a known entry method to A, but from there onwards, if B and C have been instrumented it should work, at least from what I remember.

> Ok. It looks like continuations are limited in scope to a single method. Is that right? I require something more like delimited continuations where for example A is the entry point, A calls B, B calls C, and C calls pause(). The continuation can crawl back up the call stack. Am I right that Rife continuations don't support that model?
