```
public interface Invocable
```
A task (typically either a Runnable or Callable that declares how it will behave when invoked:
- blocking, the invocation will certainly block (e.g. performs blocking I/O)
- non-blocking, the invocation will certainly not block
- either, the invocation may block
Static methods and are provided that allow the current thread to be tagged with a ThreadLocal to indicate if it has a blocking invocation type.

static final ThreadLocal<Boolean> __nonBlocking
```
- Method Detail
  - isNonBlockingInvocation
```
static boolean isNonBlockingInvocation()
```
    Test if the current thread has been tagged as non blocking
    
    Returns:
    
    True if the task the current thread is running has indicated that it will not block.
  - invokeNonBlocking
```
static void invokeNonBlocking(Runnable task)
```
    Invoke a task with the calling thread, tagged to indicate that it will not block.
    
    Parameters:
    
    task - The task to invoke.
  - getInvocationType
```
static Invocable.InvocationType getInvocationType(Object o)
```
    Get the invocation type of an Object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - The object to check the invocation type of.
    
    Returns:
    
    If the object is an Invocable, it is coerced and the getInvocationType() used, otherwise Invocable.InvocationType.BLOCKING is returned.
  - getInvocationType
```
default Invocable.InvocationType getInvocationType()
```
    Returns:
    
    The InvocationType of this object
