Class ProcessorServer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Server

    public class ProcessorServer
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Server
    The ProcessorServer is used to convert pipelines to transports. This simply acts as an adapter to a processor which converts a connected pipeline to a Transport which can be used to read and write data. Conversion of the pipeline is performed only once per connection.

        public ProcessorServer​(Processor processor)
                        throws java.io.IOException
        Constructor for the ProcessorServer object. The transport processor is used to process plain connections and wrap those connections in a Transport that can be used to send and receive data to and from.
        Parameters:
        processor - this is used to process transports
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException

      • process

        public void process​(Socket socket)
                     throws java.io.IOException
        Used to process the Pipeline which is a full duplex communication link that may contain several HTTP requests. This will be used to read the requests from the Pipeline and to pass these requests to a Container for processing.

        Typical usage of this method is to accept multiple pipeline objects, each representing a unique HTTP channel to the client, and process requests from those pipelines concurrently.

        Specified by:
        process in interface Server
        Parameters:
        socket - this is the connected HTTP pipeline to process
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • stop

        public void stop()
                  throws java.io.IOException
        This method is used to stop the Processor such that it will accept no more pipelines. Stopping the processor ensures that all resources occupied will be released. This is required so that all threads are stopped, and all memory is released.

        Typically this method is called once all connections to the server have been stopped. As a final act of shutting down the entire server all threads must be stopped, this allows collection of unused memory and the closing of file and socket resources.

        This is implemented to shut down the server asynchronously. It will start a process to perform the shutdown. Asynchronous shutdown allows a server resource executed via a HTTP request can stop the server without any danger of killing itself or even worse causing a deadlock.

        Specified by:
        stop in interface Server
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
