Interface Connection
- All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable
,Closeable
- All Known Implementing Classes:
SocketConnection
The
Connection
object is used to manage connections
from a server socket. In order to achieve this it spawns a task
to listen for incoming connect requests. When a TCP connection
request arrives it hands off the SocketChannel
to
the Server
which processes the request.
This handles connections from a ServerSocketChannel
object so that features such as SSL can be used by a server that
uses this package. The background acceptor process will terminate
if the connection is closed.

connect
This creates a new background task that will listen to the specifiedServerAddress
for incoming TCP connect requests. When an connection is accepted it is handed to the internalServer
implementation as a pipeline. The background task is a non daemon task to ensure the server is kept active, to terminate the connection this can be closed.- Parameters:
address
- this is the address used to accept connections- Returns:
- this returns the actual local address that is used
- Throws:
IOException
