Constructor Detail

BootstrapSocketClient

public BootstrapSocketClient()

Default constructor is invisible to other classes.

BootstrapSocketClient

public BootstrapSocketClient(String host,
                             int port)
                      throws ConnectException,
                             IOException

Initialize this socket client and connect it to the specified host on the specified port.

Parameters:

host - the remote host this socket client connects to.

port - the remote port on the host this socket client connects to.

Throws:

ConnectException - if the connection fails.

IOException - if there is an issue with the socket streams.

Method Detail

send

public void send(Object o)
          throws Exception

Send an object over a TCP socket connection.

Parameters:

o - the object to send.

Throws:

Exception - if the underlying output stream throws an exception.

receive

public Object receive(int timeout)
               throws Exception

Read an object from a TCP socket connection. This method blocks until an object is received or the specified timeout has expired, whichever happens first.

Parameters:

timeout - timeout after which the operation is aborted. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.

Returns:

the object that was read from the underlying input stream or null if the operation timed out.

Throws:

Exception - if the underlying input stream throws an exception.

getSerializer

public ObjectSerializer getSerializer()

Get the object serializer for this socket connection.

Specified by:

getSerializer in interface SocketWrapper

Overrides:

getSerializer in class AbstractSocketWrapper

Returns:

an instance of ObjectSerializer.
