Interface FrameChannel
-
- All Known Implementing Classes:
FrameConnection
,ServiceChannel
public interface FrameChannel
TheFrameChannel
represents a full duplex communication channel as defined by RFC 6455. Any instance of this will provide a means to perform asynchronous writes and reads to a remote client using a lightweight framing protocol. A frame is a finite length sequence of bytes that can hold either text or binary data. Also, control frames are used to perform heartbeat monitoring and closure.For convenience frames can be consumed from the socket via a callback to a registered listener. This avoids having to poll each socket for data and provides a asynchronous event driven model of communication, which greatly reduces overhead and complication.

Method Detail

send
void send(byte[] data) throws java.io.IOException
This is used to send data to the connected client. To prevent an application code from causing resource issues this will block as soon as a configured linked list of mapped memory buffers has been exhausted. Caution should be taken when writing a broadcast implementation that can write to multiple sockets as a badly behaving socket that has filled its output buffering capacity can cause congestion.- Parameters:
data
- this is the data that is to be sent- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
send
void send(java.lang.String text) throws java.io.IOException
This is used to send text to the connected client. To prevent an application code from causing resource issues this will block as soon as a configured linked list of mapped memory buffers has been exhausted. Caution should be taken when writing a broadcast implementation that can write to multiple sockets as a badly behaving socket that has filled its output buffering capacity can cause congestion.- Parameters:
text
- this is the text that is to be sent- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
send
void send(Frame frame) throws java.io.IOException
This is used to send data to the connected client. To prevent an application code from causing resource issues this will block as soon as a configured linked list of mapped memory buffers has been exhausted. Caution should be taken when writing a broadcast implementation that can write to multiple sockets as a badly behaving socket that has filled its output buffering capacity can cause congestion.- Parameters:
frame
- this is the frame that is to be sent- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
register
void register(FrameListener listener) throws java.io.IOException
This is used to register aFrameListener
to this instance. The registered listener will receive all user frames and control frames sent from the client. Also, when the frame is closed or when an unexpected error occurs the listener is notified. Any number of listeners can be registered at any time.- Parameters:
listener
- this is the listener that is to be registered- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
remove
void remove(FrameListener listener) throws java.io.IOException
This is used to remove aFrameListener
from this instance. After removal the listener will no longer receive any user frames or control messages from this specific instance.- Parameters:
listener
- this is the listener to be removed- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
close
void close(Reason reason) throws java.io.IOException
This is used to close the connection with a specific reason. The close reason will be sent as a control frame before the TCP connection is terminated.- Parameters:
reason
- the reason for closing the connection- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
close
void close() throws java.io.IOException
This is used to close the connection without a specific reason. The close reason will be sent as a control frame before the TCP connection is terminated.- Throws:
java.io.IOException
