Description

Class Summary

InProcServerSocket Abstraction of a server socket which can be accessed only from within a process.

InProcServerSocket.ConnReq

InProcSocket Abstraction of a socket accessible only within a process.

InProcSocket.Channel

InProcSocket.InProcSocketImpl

InProcSocketAddress Represents an address of in-proc socket.

Networking-related utility classes. Highlights:

edu.emory.mathcs.util.net.ConnectionPool manages a pool of socket connections to a single network endpoint. Pooling enables reusing connections for multiple, unrelated data transfers, and it can be used to implement certain connection-based protocols like HTTP 1.1. Additionally, pooling can aid in controlling network load - limiting the maximum pool size causes excessive connection requests to be enqueued at the client side.
edu.emory.mathcs.util.net.SocketWrapper and edu.emory.mathcs.util.net.ServerSocketWrapper allow to add functionality over existing network connections, so that the decorator is still perceived as a socket. It is very useful in cases when it is impossible to write decorator as a subclass, for instance when the base socket is created by an independent library. Practical application is supplied by edu.emory.mathcs.util.net.compressed.CompressedSocketWrapper and edu.emory.mathcs.util.net.compressed.CompressedServerSocketWrapper classes, which allow to enable compression on top of existing socket connections, and can readily serve as an RMI transport.
