Async (JavaLite - Java, light as a feather 2.3.2-j8 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.javalite.async.Async

```
public class Async
extends Object
```
Wrapper for embedded Apache ActiveMQ Artemis. It is an embedded in-memory JMS server for asynchronous processing. JavaLite Async can be used in standalone applications, but specifically useful in web apps for processing asynchronous jobs without delaying rendering web responses. It sets many configuration parameters of Artemis EmbeddedJMS to sensible values so you do not have to. This class also implements a Command Pattern for ease of writing asynchronous code.

```
public Async(String dataDirectory,
             boolean useLibAio,
             QueueConfig... queueConfigs)
```
    Creates and configures a new instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dataDirectory - root directory where persistent messages are stored
    
    useLibAio - true to use libaio, false not to use (See Artemis log statements to check if it was detected).
    
    queueConfigs - vararg of QueueConfig instances.

```
public Async(String dataDirectory,
             boolean useLibAio,
             com.google.inject.Injector injector,
             QueueConfig... queueConfigs)
```
    Creates and configures a new instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dataDirectory - root directory where persistent messages are stored
    
    useLibAio - true to use libaio, false to use NIO.
    
    injector - Google Guice injector. Used to inject dependency members into commands if needed.

- Method Detail
  - start

  - setBinaryMode
```
public void setBinaryMode(boolean binaryMode)
