Interface BytestreamSession

All Known Implementing Classes:

InBandBytestreamSession, Socks5BytestreamSession

public interface BytestreamSession

BytestreamSession provides an interface for established bytestream sessions.

There are two implementations of the interface. See Socks5BytestreamSession and InBandBytestreamSession.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	close()	Closes the bytestream session.
InputStream	getInputStream()	Returns the InputStream associated with this session to send data.
OutputStream	getOutputStream()	Returns the OutputStream associated with this session to receive data.
int	getReadTimeout()	Returns the timeout for read operations of the input stream associated with this session.
void	setReadTimeout(int timeout)	Sets the specified timeout, in milliseconds.

Method Detail

getInputStream

InputStream getInputStream()
                    throws IOException

Returns the InputStream associated with this session to send data.

Returns:

the InputStream associated with this session to send data

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while retrieving the input stream

getOutputStream

OutputStream getOutputStream()
                      throws IOException

Returns the OutputStream associated with this session to receive data.

Returns:

the OutputStream associated with this session to receive data

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while retrieving the output stream

close

void close()
    throws IOException

Closes the bytestream session.

Closing the session will also close the input stream and the output stream associated to this session.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while closing the session

getReadTimeout

int getReadTimeout()
            throws IOException

Returns the timeout for read operations of the input stream associated with this session. 0 returns implies that the option is disabled (i.e., timeout of infinity). Default is 0.

Returns:

the timeout for read operations

Throws:

IOException - if there is an error in the underlying protocol

setReadTimeout

void setReadTimeout(int timeout)
             throws IOException

Sets the specified timeout, in milliseconds. With this option set to a non-zero timeout, a read() call on the input stream associated with this session will block for only this amount of time. If the timeout expires, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised, though the session is still valid. The option must be enabled prior to entering the blocking operation to have effect. The timeout must be > 0. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. Default is 0.

Parameters:

timeout - the specified timeout, in milliseconds

Throws:

IOException - if there is an error in the underlying protocol
