Class AbstractConnection<ADDRESS extends IWorldConnectionAddress>

java.lang.Object
  cz.cuni.amis.pogamut.base.communication.connection.impl.AbstractConnection<ADDRESS>

All Implemented Interfaces:

IWorldConnection<ADDRESS>, IWorldReaderProvider, IWorldWriterProvider, IComponent

Direct Known Subclasses:

SocketConnection

public abstract class AbstractConnection<ADDRESS extends IWorldConnectionAddress>
extends java.lang.Object
implements IWorldConnection<ADDRESS>

Implementation of the basic connection to the world server. Note that it has some nice features :-)

This implementation is THREAD-SAFE! It is IComponent!

Calling getReader().read(), getWriter().write() is synchronized as well!

Reader and writer can be got in advance (no need to start() the connection before getReader() or getWriter() is invoked).

Calling reader.close() or writer.close() will stop() the connection as well ... you don't have to have this instance referenced directly.

Whenever an exception is thrown during read/write operation, the connection is immediately stop()ed, not kill()ed and IStoppedEvent is broadcasted. The flag will be changed correctly as well.

... if you're waiting on the reader.read() and the socket is closed meanwhile, be ready to catch the SocketException ...

The instance of the class can be reused (e.g. you may start(), stop() it repeatedly).

All you have to implement:

1. unsyncConnect(IConnectionAddress address) - no need to care of anything else then connection to 'address' + provide correct behavior for getConnectionReader(), getConnectionWriter()
2. unsyncClose() - just close the connection, no need to care of anything else
3. Reader getConnectionReader() - if connection is up, return raw reader for your connection (no extra assumptions), it will be wrapped with ConnectionReader ... if conection is down, return null
4. Writer getConnectionWriter() - if connection is down, return raw writer for your connection (no extra assumptions), it will be wrapped with ConnectionWriter ... if conection is down, return null

You might want to override method getMessageEnd() to return correct "message-end" string, so the messages are correctly split by the readers/writers.

Ignores IComponentControlHelper.startPaused(), performs IComponentControlHelper.start() in both start cases.

Constructor Detail

AbstractConnection

public AbstractConnection(ComponentDependencies dependencies,
                          IComponentBus bus,
                          IAgentLogger logger)

                          ComponentDependencies dependencies,

Method Detail

unsyncConnect

protected abstract void unsyncConnect(ADDRESS address)
                               throws ConnectionException

Inner implementation of connect, unsynchronized, this is called from connect(IConnectionDescriptor). This is called only iff the connection is down and the address is a new address.

Throws:

ConnectionException

unsyncClose

protected abstract void unsyncClose()

Inner unsynchronized implementation of the close(), should close the connection to the remote side without throwing any exception. You may be sure that the connection is up (according to the flag) when this method is called.

getConnectionReader

protected abstract java.io.Reader getConnectionReader()
                                               throws ConnectionException

This should return plain reader for the current connection. If connection is down, this should throw WorldConnectionException. We will wrap this reader with our own implementation that is capable of sniffing messages as they come (if required).

Returns:

Throws:

ConnectionException

getConnectionWriter

protected abstract java.io.Writer getConnectionWriter()
                                               throws ConnectionException

This should return plain writer for the current connection. If connection is down, this should throw WorldConnectionException. We will wrap this writer with our own implementation that is capable of sniffing messages as they go (if required).

Returns:

Throws:

ConnectionException

getComponentId

public Token getComponentId()

Description copied from interface: IComponent

Unique identification of the component.

Specified by:

getComponentId in interface IComponent

getLog

public LogCategory getLog()

setAddress

public void setAddress(ADDRESS address)
                throws ConnectionException

Description copied from interface: IWorldConnection

Sets the connection address to the object.

If the object is connected - it throws exception AlreadyConnectedException

Specified by:

setAddress in interface IWorldConnection<ADDRESS extends IWorldConnectionAddress>

Throws:

ConnectionException

getWriter

public WorldWriter getWriter()
                      throws ConnectionException
