Interface ServerSocketObserver

All Known Implementing Classes:
ChatServer, ServerSocketObserverAdapter

public interface ServerSocketObserver
Implemented by an observer to a server socket.

A server socket observer is responsible for handling incoming connections by implementing a callback to properly assign a SocketObserver to the new connections.

All callbacks will be run on the NIOService-thread, so callbacks should try to return as quickly as possible since the callback blocks communication on all sockets of the service.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    void
    Called by the NIOService on the NIO thread when an accept fails on the socket.
    void
    Called by the NIOService on the NIO thread when a new connection has been accepted by the socket.
    void
    Called by the NIOService on the NIO thread when the server socket is closed.
  • Method Details

    • acceptFailed

      void acceptFailed(IOException exception)
      Called by the NIOService on the NIO thread when an accept fails on the socket.

      Note: Since this is a direct callback on the NIO thread, this method will suspend IO on all other connections until the method returns. It is therefore strongly recommended that the implementation of this method returns as quickly as possible to avoid blocking IO.

      Parameters:
      exception - the reason for the failure, never null.
    • serverSocketDied

      void serverSocketDied(Exception exception)
      Called by the NIOService on the NIO thread when the server socket is closed.

      Note: Since this is a direct callback on the NIO thread, this method will suspend IO on all other connections until the method returns. It is therefore strongly recommended that the implementation of this method returns as quickly as possible to avoid blocking IO.

      Parameters:
      exception - the exception that caused the close, or null if this was caused by an explicit close() on the NIOServerSocket.
    • newConnection

      void newConnection(NIOSocket nioSocket)
      Called by the NIOService on the NIO thread when a new connection has been accepted by the socket.

      The normal behaviour would be for the observer to assign a reader and a writer to the socket, and then finally invoke NIOSocket#listen(SocketObserver) on the socket.

      Note: Since this is a direct callback on the NIO thread, this method will suspend IO on all other connections until the method returns. It is therefore strongly recommended that the implementation of this method returns as quickly as possible to avoid blocking IO.

      Parameters:
      nioSocket - the socket that was accepted.
