Method Detail

connect

public void connect(java.lang.String name,
                    java.net.ServerSocket socket,
                    ConnectionHandlerFactory handlerFactory,
                    ThreadPool threadPool)
             throws java.lang.Exception

Start managing a connection. Management involves accepting connections and farming them out to threads from pool to be handled.

Parameters:

name - the name of connection

socket - the ServerSocket from which to

handlerFactory - the factory from which to aquire handlers

threadPool - the thread pool to use

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if an error occurs

connect

public void connect(java.lang.String name,
                    java.net.ServerSocket socket,
                    ConnectionHandlerFactory handlerFactory)
             throws java.lang.Exception

Start managing a connection. This is similar to other connect method except that it uses default thread pool.

Parameters:

name - the name of connection

socket - the ServerSocket from which to

handlerFactory - the factory from which to aquire handlers

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if an error occurs

disconnect

public void disconnect(java.lang.String name)
                throws java.lang.Exception

This shuts down all handlers and socket, waiting for each to gracefully shutdown.

Parameters:

name - the name of connection

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if an error occurs

disconnect

public void disconnect(java.lang.String name,
                       boolean tearDown)
                throws java.lang.Exception

This shuts down all handlers and socket. If tearDown is true then it will forcefully shutdown all connections and try to return as soon as possible. Otherwise it will behave the same as void disconnect( String name );

Parameters:

name - the name of connection

tearDown - if true will forcefully tear down all handlers

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if an error occurs
