Constructor Detail

IOLoop

public IOLoop()
       throws IOException

Creates an IO loop with default timeout.

Throws:

IOException - if unable to open selector

IOLoop

public IOLoop(long timeout)
       throws IOException

Creates an IO loop with the specified timeout.

Parameters:

timeout - select timeout in milliseconds

Throws:

IOException - if unable to open selector

Method Detail

createBuffer

protected abstract B createBuffer(ByteChannel ch,
             SSLContext sslContext)

Creates a new message buffer backed by the given socket channel and driven by the specified loop. If an SSL context is specified, the IOLoop is expected to provide a secure MessageBuffer.

Parameters:

ch - backing byte channel

sslContext - optional SSL context

Returns:

newly created message buffer

discardBuffer

protected void discardBuffer(MessageBuffer<M> b)

Discards the specified message buffer from the list of registered buffers.

One should not invoke this method directly as this is merely a hook invoked by the default implementation of MessageBuffer.discard() method, which is what should be used directly instead.

Parameters:

b - message buffer

processMessages

protected abstract void processMessages(MessageBuffer<M> b,
                   List<M> messages)

Processes the list of messages received from the specified message buffer.

Parameters:

b - source message buffer

messages - list of received messages; guaranteed not to be null and not empty

connect

protected void connect(SelectionKey key)

Processes a connection request represented by the supplied select key. Default implementation sets the key's interestedOps to SelectionKey.OP_READ and then attempts to finish the connection on the key socket channel.

Parameters:

key - selection key holding the pending connect operation.

processIO

protected void processIO(SelectionKey key)

Processes a single IO request represented by the supplied select key.

Parameters:

key - selection key holding the pending I/O operation.

handleMessageProcessingException

protected void handleMessageProcessingException(B b,
                                    RuntimeException e)

Invoked if a runtime exception is thrown from processMessages(com.hp.nbio.MessageBuffer<M>, java.util.List<M>).

This default implementation simply rethrows the exception.

Parameters:

b - the buffer that was being processed

e - the runtime exception that was thrown

prune

public void prune()

Prunes the registered buffers by discarding any stale ones.

registerAccept

public void registerAccept(SocketChannel ch,
                  SSLContext sslContext)

Registers a new socket channel by creating a new message buffer backed by the socket channel and driven by this loop. If an SSL context is specified, the IOLoop is expected to provide a secure MessageBuffer.

Parameters:

ch - socket channel

sslContext - optional SSL context

registerConnect

public void registerConnect(SocketChannel ch,
                   SSLContext sslContext)

Registers a new client-side socket channel by creating a new message buffer backed by the socket channel and driven by this loop. If an SSL context is specified, the IOLoop is expected to provide a secure MessageBuffer.

Parameters:

ch - socket channel

sslContext - optional SSL context

loop

protected void loop()
             throws IOException

Description copied from class: SelectLoop

I/O event loop. Implementations are expected to break when SelectLoop.stopped becomes true via SelectLoop.cease() invocation. Also, implementations are expected to SelectLoop.signalStart() when ready.

Specified by:

loop in class SelectLoop

Throws:

IOException - if unable to properly select channels or an I/O error is propagated by an event handler.
