doConsume

protected abstract T doConsume()
                        throws NoSuchElementException

checkConsumed

protected abstract boolean checkConsumed()

Implement this method to actualy check for the Producer being fully consumed without worrying about it being closed or throwing any exceptions

NoSuchElementException

isConsumed

public final boolean isConsumed()

Returns true if no more items are available or if the consumer was closed. When this method returns true, implementors of this class are require to invoke the Closeable.close() method before returning in order to release resources as quickly as possible. Users of this component who no longer need this require before it is fully consumed are also required to close it.

Specified by:

isConsumed in interface Consumer<T>

Returns:

true if no more items are available. false otherwise

close

public void close()
           throws MuleException

Closes the resource. Calling this method is mandatory for any component using this instance once it finishes using it. This method should not throw exception is invoked on an instance that has already been closed

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Throws:

MuleException - if an exception occurs closing the resource

size

public int size()

returns the total amount of items available for storage/processing. In some scenarios, it might not be possible/convenient to actually retrieve this value or it might not be available at this point. -1 is returned in such a case.

Specified by:

size in interface ProvidesTotalHint
