Interface ConnectFuture

All Superinterfaces:

IoFuture

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPollingIoConnector.ConnectionRequest, DefaultConnectFuture

public interface ConnectFuture
extends IoFuture

An IoFuture for asynchronous connect requests.

Example

 IoConnector connector = ...;
 ConnectFuture future = connector.connect(...);
 future.awaitUninterruptibly(); // Wait until the connection attempt is finished.
 IoSession session = future.getSession();
 session.write(...);

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
ConnectFuture	addListener(IoFutureListener<?> listener)	Adds an event listener which is notified when this future is completed.
ConnectFuture	await()	Wait for the asynchronous operation to complete.
ConnectFuture	awaitUninterruptibly()	Wait for the asynchronous operation to complete uninterruptibly.
boolean	cancel()	Cancels the connection attempt and notifies all threads waiting for this future.
Throwable	getException()	Returns the cause of the connection failure.
IoSession	getSession()	Returns IoSession which is the result of connect operation.
boolean	isCanceled()
boolean	isConnected()
ConnectFuture	removeListener(IoFutureListener<?> listener)	Removes an existing event listener so it won't be notified when the future is completed.
void	setException(Throwable exception)	Sets the exception caught due to connection failure and notifies all threads waiting for this future.
void	setSession(IoSession session)	Sets the newly connected session and notifies all threads waiting for this future.

Method Detail

getSession

IoSession getSession()

Returns IoSession which is the result of connect operation.

Specified by:

getSession in interface IoFuture

Returns:

The {link IoSession} instance that has been associated with the connection, if the connection was successful, null otherwise

getException

Throwable getException()

Returns the cause of the connection failure.

Returns:

null if the connect operation is not finished yet, or if the connection attempt is successful, otherwise returns the cause of the exception

isConnected

boolean isConnected()

Returns:

true if the connect operation is finished successfully.

isCanceled

boolean isCanceled()

Returns:

true if the connect operation has been canceled by cancel() method.

setSession

void setSession(IoSession session)

Sets the newly connected session and notifies all threads waiting for this future. This method is invoked by MINA internally. Please do not call this method directly.

Parameters:

session - The created session to store in the ConnectFuture insteance

setException

void setException(Throwable exception)

Sets the exception caught due to connection failure and notifies all threads waiting for this future. This method is invoked by MINA internally. Please do not call this method directly.

Parameters:

exception - The exception to store in the ConnectFuture instance

cancel

boolean cancel()

Cancels the connection attempt and notifies all threads waiting for this future.

Returns:

true if the future has been cancelled by this call, false if the future was already cancelled.

await

ConnectFuture await()
             throws InterruptedException

Wait for the asynchronous operation to complete. The attached listeners will be notified when the operation is completed.

Specified by:

await in interface IoFuture

Returns:

The instance of IoFuture that we are waiting for

Throws:

InterruptedException - If the thread is interrupted while waiting

awaitUninterruptibly

ConnectFuture awaitUninterruptibly()

Wait for the asynchronous operation to complete uninterruptibly. The attached listeners will be notified when the operation is completed.

Specified by:

awaitUninterruptibly in interface IoFuture

Returns:

the current IoFuture

addListener

ConnectFuture addListener(IoFutureListener<?> listener)

Adds an event listener which is notified when this future is completed. If the listener is added after the completion, the listener is directly notified.

Specified by:

addListener in interface IoFuture

Parameters:

listener - The listener to add

Returns:

the current IoFuture

removeListener

ConnectFuture removeListener(IoFutureListener<?> listener)

Removes an existing event listener so it won't be notified when the future is completed.

Specified by:

removeListener in interface IoFuture

Parameters:

listener - The listener to remove

Returns:

the current IoFuture
