Class VirtualConnection

java.lang.Object
  org.jivesoftware.wildfire.net.VirtualConnection

All Implemented Interfaces:

Connection

Direct Known Subclasses:

ClientSessionConnection

public abstract class VirtualConnection
extends Object
implements Connection

Abstract implementation of the Connection interface that models abstract connections. Abstract connections are connections that don't have a physical connection counterpart. Instead they can be seen as conceptual or just 'abstract' connections.

Default values and common behavior of virtual connections are modeled in this class. Subclasses should just need to specify how packets are delivered and what means closing the connection.

VirtualConnection

public VirtualConnection()

Method Detail

getLanguage

public String getLanguage()

Description copied from interface: Connection

Returns the language code that should be used for this connection (e.g. "en").

Specified by:

getLanguage in interface Connection

Returns:

the language code for the connection.

getMajorXMPPVersion

public int getMajorXMPPVersion()

Description copied from interface: Connection

Returns the major version of XMPP being used by this connection (major_version.minor_version. In most cases, the version should be "1.0". However, older clients using the "Jabber" protocol do not set a version. In that case, the version is "0.0".

Specified by:

getMajorXMPPVersion in interface Connection

Returns:

the major XMPP version being used by this connection.

getMinorXMPPVersion

public int getMinorXMPPVersion()

Description copied from interface: Connection

Returns the minor version of XMPP being used by this connection (major_version.minor_version. In most cases, the version should be "1.0". However, older clients using the "Jabber" protocol do not set a version. In that case, the version is "0.0".

Specified by:

getMinorXMPPVersion in interface Connection

Returns:

the minor XMPP version being used by this connection.

isClosed

public boolean isClosed()

Description copied from interface: Connection

Returns true if the connection/session is closed.

Specified by:

isClosed in interface Connection

Returns:

true if the connection is closed.

getCompressionPolicy

public Connection.CompressionPolicy getCompressionPolicy()

Description copied from interface: Connection

Returns whether compression is optional or is disabled.

Specified by:

getCompressionPolicy in interface Connection

Returns:

whether compression is optional or is disabled.

getTlsPolicy

public Connection.TLSPolicy getTlsPolicy()

Description copied from interface: Connection

Returns whether TLS is mandatory, optional or is disabled. When TLS is mandatory clients are required to secure their connections or otherwise their connections will be closed. On the other hand, when TLS is disabled clients are not allowed to secure their connections using TLS. Their connections will be closed if they try to secure the connection. in this last case.

Specified by:

getTlsPolicy in interface Connection

Returns:

whether TLS is mandatory, optional or is disabled.

isCompressed

public boolean isCompressed()

Description copied from interface: Connection

Returns true if the connection is using compression.

Specified by:

isCompressed in interface Connection

Returns:

true if the connection is using compression.

isFlashClient

public boolean isFlashClient()

Description copied from interface: Connection

Returns true if the connected client is a flash client. Flash clients need to receive a special character (i.e. \0) at the end of each xml packet. Flash clients may send the character \0 in incoming packets and may start a connection using another openning tag such as: "flash:client".

Specified by:

isFlashClient in interface Connection

Returns:

true if the connected client is a flash client.

isSecure

public boolean isSecure()

Description copied from interface: Connection

Returns true if this connection is secure.

Specified by:

isSecure in interface Connection

Returns:

true if the connection is secure (e.g. SSL/TLS)

validate

public boolean validate()

Description copied from interface: Connection

Verifies that the connection is still live. Typically this is done by sending a whitespace character between packets.

Specified by:

validate in interface Connection

Returns:

true if the socket remains valid, false otherwise.

init

public void init(Session session)

Description copied from interface: Connection

Initializes the connection with it's owning session. Allows the connection class to configure itself with session related information (e.g. stream ID).

Specified by:

init in interface Connection

Parameters:

session - the session that owns this connection

close

public void close()

Closes the session, the virtual connection and notifies listeners that the connection has been closed.

Specified by:

close in interface Connection

registerCloseListener

public Object registerCloseListener(ConnectionCloseListener listener,
                                    Object handbackMessage)

Description copied from interface: Connection

Registers a listener for close event notification. Registrations after the Session is closed will be immediately notified before the registration call returns (within the context of the registration call). An optional handback object can be associated with the registration if the same listener is registered to listen for multiple connection closures.

Specified by:

registerCloseListener in interface Connection

Parameters:

listener - the listener to register for events.

handbackMessage - the object to send in the event notification.

Returns:

the message previously registered for this channel or null if no registration existed

removeCloseListener

public Object removeCloseListener(ConnectionCloseListener listener)

Description copied from interface: Connection

Removes a registered close event listener. Registered listeners must be able to receive close events up until the time this method returns. (i.e. it is possible to call unregister, receive a close event registration, and then have the unregister call return.)

Specified by:

removeCloseListener in interface Connection

Parameters:

listener - the listener to deregister for close events.

Returns:

the Message registered with this listener or null if the channel was never registered.

closeVirtualConnection

public abstract void closeVirtualConnection()

Closes the virtual connection. Subsclasses should indicate what closing a virtual connection means. At this point the session has a CLOSED state.
