Interface ServerEndpoint<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the address family encapsulated by this ServerEndpoint

All Known Implementing Classes:

ServerSocketEndpoint

public interface ServerEndpoint<T>

Represents an abstract local communication endpoint. Implementations of ServerEndpoint encapsulate the passive connection initiation mechanism for particular address families (such as SocketAddress).

Passive connection initiation is accomplished by obtaining a ServerEndpoint's Acceptor via createAcceptor().

Method Summary

Acceptor<T>	createAcceptor() Creates an Acceptor to passively listen for connections on this local ServerEndpoint.
T	getAddress() Returns the address of type T encapsulated by this ServerEndpoint.

Method Detail

createAcceptor

Acceptor<T> createAcceptor()
                           throws IOException

Creates an Acceptor to passively listen for connections on this local ServerEndpoint.

Returns:

an Acceptor configured to listen on this ServerEndpoint

Throws:

IOException - if an acceptor cannot be created

getAddress

T getAddress()

Returns the address of type T encapsulated by this ServerEndpoint.

Returns:

the address encapsulated by this ServerEndpoint
