Connection

Fields Summary

Constructors Summary

Methods Summary
public void	close() Close the Connection.
public Acceptor	getAcceptor() Get the {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.Acceptor Acceptor} that created this Connection. return {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.Acceptor Acceptor}
public ConnectionCache	getConnectionCache()
public ContactInfo	getContactInfo() Get the {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.ContactInfo ContactInfo} that created this Connection. return {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.ContactInfo ContactInfo}
public com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.EventHandler	getEventHandler() Get the {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.EventHandler EventHandler} associated with this Acceptor. return {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.EventHandler EventHandler}
public long	getTimeStamp() Timestamps are used for connection management, in particular, for reclaiming idle Connections. return the "time" the Connection was last used.
public boolean	isBusy() Indicates if the Connection is in the process of sending or receiving a message. return true if the Connection is busy.
public boolean	isServer() Indicates whether a {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.ContactInfo ContactInfo} or a {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.Acceptor Acceptor} created the Connection. return true if Connection an {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.Acceptor Acceptor} created the Connection.
public boolean	read() Called to read incoming messages. return true if the thread calling read can be released.
public void	registerWaiter(com.sun.corba.se.pept.protocol.MessageMediator messageMediator) Register an invocation's {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.protocol.MessageMediator MessageMediator} with the Connection. This is useful in protocols which support fragmentation. param messageMediator
public void	sendWithoutLock(com.sun.corba.se.pept.encoding.OutputObject outputObject)
public void	setConnectionCache(ConnectionCache connectionCache)
public void	setState(java.lang.String state) The "state" of the Connection. param state
public void	setTimeStamp(long time) Timestamps are used for connection management, in particular, for reclaiming idle Connections. param time - the "time" the Connection was last used.
public boolean	shouldRegisterReadEvent() Used to determine if the Connection should register with the {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.TransportManager TransportManager} {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.Selector Selector} to handle read events. For example, an HTTP transport would not register since the requesting thread would just block on read when waiting for the reply. return true if it should be registered.
public boolean	shouldRegisterServerReadEvent() Used to determine if the Connection should register with the {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.TransportManager TransportManager} {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.transport.Selector Selector} to handle read events. For example, an HTTP transport would not register since the requesting thread would just block on read when waiting for the reply. return true if it should be registered.
public void	unregisterWaiter(com.sun.corba.se.pept.protocol.MessageMediator messageMediator) Unregister an invocation's {@link com.sun.corba.se.pept.protocol.MessageMediator MessageMediator} with the Connection. param messageMediator
public com.sun.corba.se.pept.encoding.InputObject	waitForResponse(com.sun.corba.se.pept.protocol.MessageMediator messageMediator) If a message expect's a response then this method is called. This method might block on a read (e.g., HTTP), put the calling thread to sleep while another thread read's the response (e.g., GIOP), or it may use the calling thread to perform the server-side work (e.g., Solaris Doors). param messageMediator
public void	writeLock() Grab a write lock on the Connection. If another thread already has a write lock then the calling thread will block until the lock is released. The calling thread must call {@link #writeUnlock} when it is done.
public void	writeUnlock() Release a write lock on the Connection.
