addConnectionListener

Method Detail

getCurrentClientConnections

int getCurrentClientConnections()

Gets the number of client connections.

Returns:

number of client connections.

getAllTextConnections

int getAllTextConnections()

Gets the number of text connections (rest/memcache)

Returns:

the number of text connections.

getConnectionCount

int getConnectionCount()

Gets the total number of connections.

Returns:

the total number of connections.

getActiveConnectionCount

int getActiveConnectionCount()

Gets the number of active connections.

Returns:

the number of active connections.

getConnection

Connection getConnection(Address address)

Gets the connection for a given address. If the connection does not exist, it returns null.

Parameters:

address - the remote side of the connection.

Returns:

the found Connection, or none if one doesn't exist.

getOrConnect

Connection getOrConnect(Address address)

Gets the existing connection for a given address or connects. This call is silent.

Parameters:

address - the address to connect to.

Returns:

the found connection, or null if no connection exists.

See Also:

getOrConnect(Address, boolean)

getOrConnect

Connection getOrConnect(Address address,
                      boolean silent)

Gets the existing connection for a given address. If it does not exist, the system will try to connect asynchronously. In this case, it returns null. When the connection is established at some point in time, it can be retrieved using the getConnection(Address).

Parameters:

address - the address to connect to.

silent - if logging should be done on debug level (silent=true) or on info level (silent=false).

Returns:

the existing connection.

registerConnection

boolean registerConnection(Address address,
                         Connection connection)

transmit

boolean transmit(Packet packet,
               Connection connection)

Transmits a packet to a certain connection. If this method is called with a null connection, the call returns false

Parameters:

packet - The Packet to transmit.

connection - The connection to where the Packet should be transmitted.

Returns:

true if the transmit was a success, false if a failure. There is no guarantee that the packet is actually going to be received since the Packet perhaps is stuck in some buffer. It just means that it is buffered somewhere.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if packet is null.

transmit

boolean transmit(Packet packet,
               Address target)

Transmits a packet to a certain address. If the connection to the target doesn't exist yet, the system will try to make the connection. In this case true can be returned, even though the connection eventually can't be established.

Parameters:

packet - The Packet to transmit.

target - The address of the target machine where the Packet should be transmitted.

Returns:

true if the transmit was a success, false if a failure.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if packet or target is null.

See Also:

transmit(com.hazelcast.nio.Packet, com.hazelcast.nio.Connection)

start

void start()

Starts ConnectionManager, initializes its resources, starts threads, etc. After start, ConnectionManager becomes fully operational.

If it is already started, then this method has no effect.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if ConnectionManager is shutdown

stop

void stop()

Stops ConnectionManager, releases its resources, stops threads, etc. When stopped, ConnectionManager can be started again using start().

This method has no effect if it is already stopped or shutdown.

Currently stop is called during the merge process to detach node from the current cluster. After node becomes ready to join to the new cluster, start is called to re-initialize the ConnectionManager.

shutdown

void shutdown()

Shutdowns ConnectionManager completely. ConnectionManager will not be operational anymore and cannot be restarted.

This method has no effect if it is already shutdown.
