Interface ClosableHandle<H>

Type Parameters:

H - The type of the handle.

All Known Subinterfaces:

ClosableHandle.CloseAutomatonHandle<H>, ConnectionComponentHandle<H,CON>, ConnectionComponentHandle.ConnectionAutomatonHandle<H,CON>, LinkComponentHandle<H>, LinkComponentHandle.LinkAutomatonHandle<H>

public interface ClosableHandle<H>

The ClosableHandle interface defines those methods related to the handle based close life-cycle.

The handle reference requires the Closable interface to be implemented.

static interface	ClosableHandle.CloseAutomatonHandle<H>	The ClosableHandle.CloseAutomatonHandle interface defines those methods related to the handle based close life-cycle.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	close(H aHandle)	Closes or pre-closes (flush) the component identified by the given handle.
default void	closeUnchecked(H aHandle)	Closes the component by calling close(Object) without you to require catching an IOException.
boolean	hasClosable(H aHandle)	Determines whether the handle reference is closable by implementing the Closable interface.

Method Details

hasClosable

boolean hasClosable(H aHandle)

Determines whether the handle reference is closable by implementing the Closable interface.

Parameters:

aHandle - The handle to test whether the reference provides the according functionality.

Returns:

True in case the reference provides the according functionality.

Throws:

UnknownHandleRuntimeException - in case the handle is unknown.

close

void close(H aHandle)
    throws IOException

Closes or pre-closes (flush) the component identified by the given handle. Throws a IOException as upon close we may have to do things like flushing buffers which can fail (and would otherwise fail unhandled or even worse unnoticed).

Parameters:

aHandle - The handle identifying the component.

Throws:

IOException - Thrown in case closing or pre-closing (flushing) fails.

UnknownHandleRuntimeException - in case the given handle is unknown.

UnsupportedHandleOperationRuntimeException - in case the reference of the handle does not support the requested operation.

IllegalHandleStateChangeRuntimeException - Thrown in case a state change is not possible due to the current state the referenced component is in.

closeUnchecked

default void closeUnchecked(H aHandle)

Closes the component by calling close(Object) without you to require catching an IOException.

Parameters:

aHandle - The handle identifying the component.

Throws:

org.refcodes.exception.RuntimeIOException - encapsulates the aCause and is thrown upon encountering a IOException exception
