Class Endpoint

java.lang.Object

de.gebit.integrity.remoting.transport.Endpoint

public class Endpoint
extends Object

An endpoint is a client- or serverside termination point of a message channel. The endpoint uses a TCP connection to transmit messages bidirectionally, with processors waiting for new messages to arrive.

Endpoint

public Endpoint(Socket aSocket,
 Map<Class<? extends AbstractMessage>,MessageProcessor<?>> aProcessorMap,
 EndpointListener aListener,
 ClassLoader aClassLoader)

Creates a new endpoint from a specific, already-connected socket.

Parameters:

aSocket - the connected socket

aProcessorMap - the processors

aListener - the listener

aClassLoader - the classloader to use when deserializing objects

Endpoint

public Endpoint(String aHost,
 int aPort,
 Map<Class<? extends AbstractMessage>,MessageProcessor<?>> aProcessorMap,
 EndpointListener aListener,
 ClassLoader aClassLoader)
         throws UnknownHostException,
IOException

Creates a new endpoint and connects to a remote host, on which a ServerEndpoint is expected to run.

Parameters:

aHost - the host name or IP

aPort - the port to connect to

aProcessorMap - the map of processors

aListener - the listener

aClassLoader - the classloader to use when deserializing objects

Throws:

UnknownHostException

IOException

Method Details

sendMessage

public void sendMessage(AbstractMessage aMessage)

Sends a message. This queues the message into the outqueue, which is then emptied asynchronously by the outputProcessor.

Parameters:

aMessage - the message to send

isActive

public boolean isActive()

isDisconnectRequested

public boolean isDisconnectRequested()

close

public void close(boolean anEmptyOutputQueueFlag)

Close the connection.

Parameters:

anEmptyOutputQueueFlag - whether the output queue shall be sent to the other endpoint before closing

instantiateKryo

protected com.esotericsoftware.kryo.Kryo instantiateKryo()

Instantiates the Kryo serialization framework.

Returns:

an instantiated and fully configured Kryo instance
