Interface Connector

All Known Implementing Classes:

SocketConnector, UdpConnector

public interface Connector

A single channel remote connection allowing the sending and receiving of data. As opposed to the Kernel, this will only ever receive data from one Endpoint and so bypasses the envelope wrapping.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	available() Returns true if there is currently data available for reading.
void	close() Closes the connection.
boolean	isConnected() Returns true if this connector is currently connected.
java.nio.ByteBuffer	read() Reads a chunk of data from the connection, blocking if there is no data available.
void	write(java.nio.ByteBuffer data) Writes a chunk of data to the connection from data.position() to data.limit().

Method Detail

isConnected

boolean isConnected()

Returns true if this connector is currently connected.

close

void close()

Closes the connection. Any subsequent attempts to read or write will fail with an exception.

available

boolean available()

Returns true if there is currently data available for reading. Some connector implementations may not be able to answer this question accurately and will always return false.

read

java.nio.ByteBuffer read()

Reads a chunk of data from the connection, blocking if there is no data available. The buffer may only be valid until the next read() call is made. Callers should copy the data if they need it for longer than that.

Returns:

The data read or null if there is no more data because the connection is closed.

write

void write(java.nio.ByteBuffer data)

Writes a chunk of data to the connection from data.position() to data.limit().
