Interface Networking

All Known Implementing Classes:

NioNetworking

public interface Networking

The Networking is responsible for processing registered channels. Effectively it is the threading model for the io system. An event loop is for example visible on the NioThread where we loop over the selector events. The Networking is the group of all these thread instances. The default implementation of this is the NioNetworking that relies on selectors. But also different implementations can be added like spinning, thread per connection, epoll based etc.

Method Detail

register

Channel register(SocketChannel socketChannel,
                 boolean clientMode)
          throws IOException

Registers the SocketChannel to the EventLoop group and returns the created Channel. The Channel is not yet started so that modifications can be made to the channel e.g. adding attributes. Once this is done the Channel.start() needs to be called.

Parameters:

socketChannel - the socketChannel to register

clientMode - if the channel is made in clientMode or server mode

Returns:

the created Channel

Throws:

IOException

start

void start()

Starts this Networking.

shutdown

void shutdown()

Shuts down this Networking.
