Class VirtualConnection

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.jivesoftware.openfire.net.VirtualConnection
All Implemented Interfaces:
Connection
Direct Known Subclasses:
ClientSessionConnection, HttpSession.HttpVirtualConnection

public abstract class VirtualConnection
extends Object
implements Connection

Abstract implementation of the Connection interface that models abstract connections. Abstract connections are connections that don't have a physical connection counterpart. Instead they can be seen as conceptual or just 'abstract' connections.

Default values and common behavior of virtual connections are modeled in this class. Subclasses should just need to specify how packets are delivered and what means closing the connection.

getLocalCertificates

public Certificate[] getLocalCertificates()
Description copied from interface: Connection
Returns the local underlying X509Certificate chain for the connection.

Specified by:
getLocalCertificates in interface Connection
Returns:

setUsingSelfSignedCertificate in interface Connection
Parameters:
isSelfSigned - true if the other peer presented a self-signed certificate.

isUsingSelfSignedCertificate

public boolean isUsingSelfSignedCertificate()
Description copied from interface: Connection
Returns true if the other peer of this session presented a self-signed certificate. When using self-signed certificate for server-2-server sessions then SASL EXTERNAL will not be used and instead server-dialback will be preferred for vcerifying the identify of the remote server.

Specified by:
isFlashClient in interface Connection
Returns:
true if the connected client is a flash client.

setFlashClient

public void setFlashClient(boolean flashClient)
Description copied from interface: Connection
Sets whether the connected client is a flash client. Flash clients need to receive a special character (i.e. \0) at the end of each xml packet. Flash clients may send the character \0 in incoming packets and may start a connection using another openning tag such as: "flash:client".

setXMPPVersion in interface Connection
Parameters:
majorVersion - the major version.
minorVersion - the minor version.

setLanaguage

public void setLanaguage(String language)

public void setTlsPolicy(Connection.TLSPolicy tlsPolicy)
Description copied from interface: Connection
Sets whether TLS is mandatory, optional or is disabled. When TLS is mandatory clients are required to secure their connections or otherwise their connections will be closed. On the other hand, when TLS is disabled clients are not allowed to secure their connections using TLS. Their connections will be closed if they try to secure the connection. in this last case.

Specified by:

getPacketDeliverer

public PacketDeliverer getPacketDeliverer()

Specified by:
getPacketDeliverer in interface Connection
Returns:

startTLS

public void startTLS(boolean clientMode,
                     String remoteServer,
                     Connection.ClientAuth authentication)
              throws Exception
Description copied from interface: Connection
Secures the plain connection by negotiating TLS with the other peer. In a server-2-server connection the server requesting the TLS negotiation will be the client and the other server will be the server during the TLS negotiation. Therefore, the server requesting the TLS negotiation must pass true in the clientMode parameter and the server receiving the TLS request must pass false in the clientMode parameter. Both servers should specify the xmpp domain of the other server in the remoteServer parameter.

In the case of client-2-server the XMPP server must pass false in the clientMode parameter since it will behave as the server in the TLS negotiation. The remoteServer parameter will always be null.

Specified by:
startTLS in interface Connection
Parameters:
clientMode - boolean indicating if this entity is a client or a server in the TLS negotiation.
remoteServer - xmpp domain of the remote server or null. When null a ClientTrustManager will be used for verifying certificates otherwise a ServerTrustManager will be used.
authentication - policy to use for authenticating the remote peer.
Throws:
Exception - if an error occured while securing the connection.

addCompression

public void addCompression()
Description copied from interface: Connection
Adds the compression filter to the connection but only filter incoming traffic. Do not filter outgoing traffic since we still need to send an uncompressed stanza to the client indicating that he can start compressing the traffic. After we sent the uncompresses stanza we can start compression outgoing traffic as well.

Specified by:
addCompression in interface Connection

startCompression

public void startCompression()
Description copied from interface: Connection
Start compressing outgoing traffic for this connection. Compression will only be available after TLS has been negotiated. This means that a connection can never be using compression before TLS. However, it is possible to use compression without TLS.

Specified by:
startCompression in interface Connection

isSecure

public boolean isSecure()
Description copied from interface: Connection
Returns true if this connection is secure.

Specified by:
isSecure in interface Connection
Returns:
true if the connection is secure (e.g. SSL/TLS)

validate

public boolean validate()
Description copied from interface: Connection
Verifies that the connection is still live. Typically this is done by sending a whitespace character between packets.

Specified by:
validate in interface Connection
Returns:
true if the socket remains valid, false otherwise.

init

public void init(LocalSession session)
Description copied from interface: Connection
Initializes the connection with it's owning session. Allows the connection class to configure itself with session related information (e.g. stream ID).

Specified by:
init in interface Connection
Parameters:
session - the session that owns this connection

close

public void close()
Closes the session, the virtual connection and notifies listeners that the connection has been closed.

Specified by:
close in interface Connection

registerCloseListener

public void registerCloseListener(ConnectionCloseListener listener,
                                  Object handbackMessage)
Description copied from interface: Connection
Registers a listener for close event notification. Registrations after the Session is closed will be immediately notified before the registration call returns (within the context of the registration call). An optional handback object can be associated with the registration if the same listener is registered to listen for multiple connection closures.

Specified by:
registerCloseListener in interface Connection
Parameters:
listener - the listener to register for events.
handbackMessage - the object to send in the event notification.

removeCloseListener

public void removeCloseListener(ConnectionCloseListener listener)
Description copied from interface: Connection
Removes a registered close event listener. Registered listeners must be able to receive close events up until the time this method returns. (i.e. it is possible to call unregister, receive a close event registration, and then have the unregister call return.)

Specified by:
removeCloseListener in interface Connection
Parameters:
listener - the listener to deregister for close events.

closeVirtualConnection

public abstract void closeVirtualConnection()
Closes the virtual connection. Subsclasses should indicate what closing a virtual connection means. At this point the session has a CLOSED state.
