Interface TransportProcessor

All Known Implementing Classes:
ContainerTransportProcessor

public interface TransportProcessor
This is the TransportProcessor used to process the provided transport in a higher layer. It is the responsibility of the delegate to handle protocols and message processing. In the case of HTTP this will process requests for a container. The transport provided can be either a direct transport or provide some form of secure encoding such as SSL.

  • Method Details

    • process

      void process(Transport transport) throws IOException
      This is used to process a Transport instance in a higher layer that can handle a protocol. A transport can be a direct transport or a secure transport providing SSL. At this point any SSL handshake will have already completed.

      Typical usage of this method is to accept multiple transport objects, each representing a unique TCP channel to the client, and process requests from those transports concurrently.

      Parameters:
      transport - the transport to process requests from
      Throws:
      IOException
    • stop

      void stop() throws IOException
      This method is used to stop the TransportProcessor such that it will accept no more pipelines. Stopping the connector ensures that all resources occupied will be released. This is required so that all threads are stopped and released.

      Typically this method is called once all connections to the server have been stopped. As a final act of shutting down the entire server all threads must be stopped, this allows collection of unused memory and the closing of file and socket resources.

      Throws:
      IOException
