Interface IoSession

  • All Known Subinterfaces:
    BroadcastIoSession
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    BaseIoSession, VmPipeSessionImpl

    public interface IoSession
    A handle which represents connection between two endpoints regardless of transport types.

    IoSession provides user-defined attributes. User-defined attributes are application-specific data which is associated with a session. It often contains objects that represents the state of a higher-level protocol and becomes a way to exchange data between filters and handlers.

    Adjusting Transport Type Specific Properties

    You can simply downcast the session to an appropriate subclass.

    Thread Safety

    IoSession is thread-safe. But please note that performing more than one write(Object) calls at the same time will cause the IoFilter.filterWrite(IoFilter.NextFilter, IoSession, IoFilter.WriteRequest) is executed simnutaneously, and therefore you have to make sure the IoFilter implementations you're using are thread-safe, too.

    • Method Detail

      • getService

        IoService getService()
        Returns the IoService which provides I/O service to this session.
      • getConfig

        IoSessionConfig getConfig()
        Returns the configuration of this session.
      • getFilterChain

        IoFilterChain getFilterChain()
        Returns the filter chain that only affects this session.
      • write

        WriteFuture write​(java.lang.Object message)
        Writes the specified message to remote peer. This operation is asynchronous; IoHandler.messageSent(IoSession, Object) will be invoked when the message is actually sent to remote peer. You can also wait for the returned WriteFuture if you want to wait for the message actually written.
      • close

        CloseFuture close()
        Closes this session immediately. This operation is asynthronous. Wait for the returned CloseFuture if you want to wait for the session actually closed.
      • getAttachment

        java.lang.Object getAttachment()
        Returns an attachment of this session. This method is identical with getAttribute( "" ).
      • setAttachment

        Parameters:
        key - the key of the attribute
        Returns:
        The old value of the attribute. null if it is new.
