Interface AppSocket

All Known Implementing Classes:

SocketAdapter

public interface AppSocket

Interface for sending bulk data from the application. Mimics java's non-blocking SocketChannel interface this should make it easier to implement in any Java-based p2p overlay.

Method Summary

void	close() Closes this socket.
long	read(java.nio.ByteBuffer[] dsts, int offset, int length) Reads a sequence of bytes from this channel into a subsequence of the given buffers.
void	register(boolean wantToRead, boolean wantToWrite, int timeout, AppSocketReceiver receiver) Must be called every time a Read/Write occurs to continue operation.
void	shutdownOutput() Disables the output stream for this socket.
long	write(java.nio.ByteBuffer[] srcs, int offset, int length) Writes a sequence of bytes to this channel from a subsequence of the given buffers.

Method Detail

read

long read(java.nio.ByteBuffer[] dsts,
          int offset,
          int length)
          throws java.io.IOException

Reads a sequence of bytes from this channel into a subsequence of the given buffers.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

write

long write(java.nio.ByteBuffer[] srcs,
           int offset,
           int length)
           throws java.io.IOException

Writes a sequence of bytes to this channel from a subsequence of the given buffers.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

register

void register(boolean wantToRead,
              boolean wantToWrite,
              int timeout,
              AppSocketReceiver receiver)

Must be called every time a Read/Write occurs to continue operation.

Parameters:

wantToRead - if you want to read from this socket

wantToWrite - if you want to write to this socket

timeout - // the socket's timeout value (this is a TCP level param)

receiver - will have receiveSelectResult() called on it note that you must call select() each time receiveSelectResult() is called. This is so your application can properly handle flow control

shutdownOutput

void shutdownOutput()

Disables the output stream for this socket. Used to properly close down a socket used for bi-directional communication that can be initated by either side.

close

void close()

Closes this socket.
