breakr is a simplistic interceptor (6KB) which ignores all calls to the decorated component when a configurable threshold is reached.

The decision when to open or close the circuit and the information about the state of the breakr is maintained in the class com.airhacks.breakr.Circuit.

To introduce custom behavior, just inherit from the Circuit and introduce your own business logic:

@ApplicationScoped
@Specializes
public class CustomCircuit extends Circuit {

    private AtomicBoolean open = new AtomicBoolean(false);

    @Override
    public boolean isOpen(long maxFailures) {
        return open.get();
    }

    public long getFailureCount() {
        return failureCounter.get();
    }

    /**
     * controls the closing and opening of the circuit
     */
    public void setOpen(boolean open) {
        this.open.set(open);
    }
}
