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 Details

    • getService

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

      IoServiceConfig getServiceConfig()
      Returns the IoServiceConfig of this session.
    • getHandler

      IoHandler getHandler()
      Returns the IoHandler which handles 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(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

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

      Object setAttachment(Object attachment)
      Sets an attachment of this session. This method is identical with setAttribute( "", attachment ).
      Returns:
      Old attachment. null if it is new.
    • getAttribute

      Object getAttribute(String key)
      Returns the value of user-defined attribute of this session.
      Parameters:
      key - the key of the attribute
      Returns:

      Sets a user-defined attribute.
      Parameters:
      key - the key of the attribute
      value - the value of the attribute
      Returns:
      The old value of the attribute. null if it is new.
    • setAttribute

      Object setAttribute(String key)
      Sets a user defined attribute without a value. This is useful when you just want to put a 'mark' attribute. Its value is set to Boolean.TRUE.

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

      Returns true if this session contains the attribute with the specified key.

      TransportType getTransportType()
      Returns transport type of this session.
    • isConnected

      boolean isConnected()
      Returns true if this session is connected with remote peer.
    • isClosing

      boolean isClosing()
      Returns true if and only if this session is being closed (but not disconnected yet) or is closed.
    • getCloseFuture

      CloseFuture getCloseFuture()
      Returns the CloseFuture of this session. This method returns the same instance whenever user calls it.
    • getRemoteAddress

      SocketAddress getRemoteAddress()
      Returns the socket address of remote peer.
    • getLocalAddress

      SocketAddress getLocalAddress()
      Returns the socket address of local machine which is associated with this session.
    • getServiceAddress

      SocketAddress getServiceAddress()
      Returns the socket address of the IoService listens to to manage this session. If this session is managed by IoAcceptor, it returns the SocketAddress which is specified as a parameter of IoAcceptor.bind(SocketAddress, IoHandler). If this session is managed by IoConnector, this method returns the same address with that of getRemoteAddress().
