Method Detail

getId

long getId()

Returns an ID that is unique for this endpoint within its Kernel instance.

getAddress

java.lang.String getAddress()

Returns the transport specific remote address of this endpoint as a string. This may or may not be unique per endpoint depending on the type of transport.

getKernel

Kernel getKernel()

Returns the kernel to which this endpoint belongs.

isConnected

boolean isConnected()

Returns true if this endpoint is currently connected.

send

void send(java.nio.ByteBuffer data)

Sends data to the other end of the connection represented by this endpoint.

close

void close()

Closes this endpoint without flushing any of its currently enqueued outbound data.

close

void close(boolean flushData)

Closes this endpoint, optionally flushing any queued data before closing. As soon as this method is called, ne send() calls will fail with an exception... even while close() is still flushing the earlier queued messages.
