TelnetOptionHandler

public abstract class TelnetOptionHandler extends Object
The TelnetOptionHandler class is the base class to be used for implementing handlers for telnet options.

TelnetOptionHandler implements basic option handling functionality and defines abstract methods that must be implemented to define subnegotiation behaviour.

Constructors Summary
public TelnetOptionHandler(int optcode, boolean initlocal, boolean initremote, boolean acceptlocal, boolean acceptremote)
Constructor for the TelnetOptionHandler. Allows defining desired initial setting for local/remote activation of this option and behaviour in case a local/remote activation request for this option is received.

param
optcode - Option code.
param
initlocal - if set to true, a WILL is sent upon connection.
param
initremote - if set to true, a DO is sent upon connection.
param
acceptlocal - if set to true, any DO request is accepted.
param
acceptremote - if set to true, any WILL request is accepted.


                                                                                             
      
                                 
                                 
                                 
                                 
    
        optionCode = optcode;
        initialLocal = initlocal;
        initialRemote = initremote;
        acceptLocal = acceptlocal;
        acceptRemote = acceptremote;
    
Methods Summary
public abstract int[]answerSubnegotiation(int[] suboptionData, int suboptionLength)
Method called upon reception of a subnegotiation for this option coming from the other end. Must be implemented by the actual TelnetOptionHandler to specify which response must be sent for the subnegotiation request.

param
suboptionData - the sequence received, whithout IAC SB & IAC SE
param
suboptionLength - the length of data in suboption_data

return
response to be sent to the subnegotiation sequence. TelnetClient will add IAC SB & IAC SE. null means no response

public booleangetAcceptLocal()
Returns a boolean indicating whether to accept a DO request coming from the other end.

return
true if a DO request shall be accepted.

        return (acceptLocal);
    
public booleangetAcceptRemote()
Returns a boolean indicating whether to accept a WILL request coming from the other end.

return
true if a WILL request shall be accepted.

        return (acceptRemote);
    
booleangetDo()
Returns a boolean indicating whether a DO request sent to the other side has been acknowledged.

return
true if a DO sent to the other side has been acknowledged.

        return doFlag;
    
public booleangetInitLocal()
Returns a boolean indicating whether to send a WILL request to the other end upon connection.

return
true if a WILL request shall be sent upon connection.

        return (initialLocal);
    
public booleangetInitRemote()
Returns a boolean indicating whether to send a DO request to the other end upon connection.

return
true if a DO request shall be sent upon connection.

        return (initialRemote);
    
public intgetOptionCode()
Returns the option code for this option.

return
Option code.

        return (optionCode);
    
booleangetWill()
Returns a boolean indicating whether a WILL request sent to the other side has been acknowledged.

return
true if a WILL sent to the other side has been acknowledged.

        return willFlag;
    
public voidsetAcceptLocal(boolean accept)
Set behaviour of the option for DO requests coming from the other end.

param
accept - if true, subsequent DO requests will be accepted.

        acceptLocal = accept;
    
public voidsetAcceptRemote(boolean accept)
Set behaviour of the option for WILL requests coming from the other end.

param
accept - if true, subsequent WILL requests will be accepted.

        acceptRemote = accept;
    
voidsetDo(boolean state)
Tells this option whether a DO request sent to the other side has been acknowledged (invoked by TelnetClient).

param
state - if true, a DO request has been acknowledged.

        doFlag = state;
    
public voidsetInitLocal(boolean init)
Tells this option whether to send a WILL request upon connection.

param
init - if true, a WILL request will be sent upon subsequent connections.

        initialLocal = init;
    
public voidsetInitRemote(boolean init)
Tells this option whether to send a DO request upon connection.

param
init - if true, a DO request will be sent upon subsequent connections.

        initialRemote = init;
    
voidsetWill(boolean state)
Tells this option whether a WILL request sent to the other side has been acknowledged (invoked by TelnetClient).

param
state - if true, a WILL request has been acknowledged.

        willFlag = state;
    
public abstract int[]startSubnegotiationLocal()
This method is invoked whenever this option is acknowledged active on the local end (TelnetClient sent a WILL, remote side sent a DO). The method is used to specify a subnegotiation sequence that will be sent by TelnetClient when the option is activated.

return
subnegotiation sequence to be sent by TelnetClient. TelnetClient will add IAC SB & IAC SE. null means no subnegotiation.

public abstract int[]startSubnegotiationRemote()
This method is invoked whenever this option is acknowledged active on the remote end (TelnetClient sent a DO, remote side sent a WILL). The method is used to specify a subnegotiation sequence that will be sent by TelnetClient when the option is activated.

return
subnegotiation sequence to be sent by TelnetClient. TelnetClient will add IAC SB & IAC SE. null means no subnegotiation.
