All Implemented Interfaces:

public abstract class ServerSocketChannel
extends AbstractSelectableChannel
implements NetworkChannel

A selectable channel for stream-oriented listening sockets.

A server-socket channel is created by invoking the open method of this class. It is not possible to create a channel for an arbitrary, pre-existing ServerSocket. A newly-created server-socket channel is open but not yet bound. An attempt to invoke the accept method of an unbound server-socket channel will cause a NotYetBoundException to be thrown. A server-socket channel can be bound by invoking one of the bind methods defined by this class.

Socket options are configured using the setOption method. Server-socket channels support the following options:

Option Name	Description
SO_RCVBUF	The size of the socket receive buffer
SO_REUSEADDR	Re-use address

Additional (implementation specific) options may also be supported.

Server-socket channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.

Since:

1.4

Constructor Detail

ServerSocketChannel

protected ServerSocketChannel(SelectorProvider provider)

Initializes a new instance of this class.

Parameters:

provider - The provider that created this channel

Method Detail

open

public static ServerSocketChannel open()
                                throws IOException

Opens a server-socket channel.

The new channel is created by invoking the openServerSocketChannel method of the system-wide default SelectorProvider object.

The new channel's socket is initially unbound; it must be bound to a specific address via one of its socket's bind methods before connections can be accepted.

Returns:

A new socket channel

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

validOps

public final int validOps()

Returns an operation set identifying this channel's supported operations.

Server-socket channels only support the accepting of new connections, so this method returns SelectionKey.OP_ACCEPT.

Specified by:

validOps in class SelectableChannel

Returns:

The valid-operation set

bind

public final ServerSocketChannel bind(SocketAddress local)
                               throws IOException

Binds the channel's socket to a local address and configures the socket to listen for connections.

An invocation of this method is equivalent to the following:

 bind(local, 0);
 

Specified by:

bind in interface NetworkChannel

Parameters:

local - The local address to bind the socket, or null to bind to an automatically assigned socket address

Returns:

This channel

Throws:

AlreadyBoundException - If the socket is already bound

UnsupportedAddressTypeException - If the type of the given address is not supported

ClosedChannelException - If the channel is closed

IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and its checkListen method denies the operation

Since:

1.7

NetworkChannel.getLocalAddress()

bind

public abstract ServerSocketChannel bind(SocketAddress local,
                                         int backlog)
                                  throws IOException

Binds the channel's socket to a local address and configures the socket to listen for connections.

This method is used to establish an association between the socket and a local address. Once an association is established then the socket remains bound until the channel is closed.

The backlog parameter is the maximum number of pending connections on the socket. Its exact semantics are implementation specific. In particular, an implementation may impose a maximum length or may choose to ignore the parameter altogther. If the backlog parameter has the value 0, or a negative value, then an implementation specific default is used.

Parameters:

local - The address to bind the socket, or null to bind to an automatically assigned socket address

backlog - The maximum number of pending connections

Returns:

This channel

Throws:

AlreadyBoundException - If the socket is already bound

UnsupportedAddressTypeException - If the type of the given address is not supported

ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed

IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and its checkListen method denies the operation

Since:

1.7

setOption

public abstract <T> ServerSocketChannel setOption(SocketOption<T> name,
                                                  T value)
                                           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: NetworkChannel

Sets the value of a socket option.

Specified by:

setOption in interface NetworkChannel

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the socket option value

Parameters:

name - The socket option

value - The value of the socket option. A value of null may be a valid value for some socket options.

Returns:

This channel

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - If the socket option is not supported by this channel

IllegalArgumentException - If the value is not a valid value for this socket option

ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

Since:

1.7

StandardSocketOptions

socket

public abstract ServerSocket socket()

Retrieves a server socket associated with this channel.

The returned object will not declare any public methods that are not declared in the ServerSocket class.

Returns:

A server socket associated with this channel

accept

public abstract SocketChannel accept()
                              throws IOException

Accepts a connection made to this channel's socket.

If this channel is in non-blocking mode then this method will immediately return null if there are no pending connections. Otherwise it will block indefinitely until a new connection is available or an I/O error occurs.

The socket channel returned by this method, if any, will be in blocking mode regardless of the blocking mode of this channel.

This method performs exactly the same security checks as the accept method of the ServerSocket class. That is, if a security manager has been installed then for each new connection this method verifies that the address and port number of the connection's remote endpoint are permitted by the security manager's checkAccept method.

Returns:

The socket channel for the new connection, or null if this channel is in non-blocking mode and no connection is available to be accepted

Throws:

ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed

AsynchronousCloseException - If another thread closes this channel while the accept operation is in progress

ClosedByInterruptException - If another thread interrupts the current thread while the accept operation is in progress, thereby closing the channel and setting the current thread's interrupt status

NotYetBoundException - If this channel's socket has not yet been bound

SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit access to the remote endpoint of the new connection

IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

getLocalAddress

public abstract SocketAddress getLocalAddress()
                                       throws IOException

Returns the socket address that this channel's socket is bound to.

Where the channel is bound to an Internet Protocol socket address then the return value from this method is of type InetSocketAddress.

If there is a security manager set, its checkConnect method is called with the local address and -1 as its arguments to see if the operation is allowed. If the operation is not allowed, a SocketAddress representing the loopback address and the local port of the channel's socket is returned.

Specified by:

getLocalAddress in interface NetworkChannel

Returns:

The SocketAddress that the socket is bound to, or the SocketAddress representing the loopback address if denied by the security manager, or null if the channel's socket is not bound

Throws:

ClosedChannelException - If the channel is closed

IOException - If an I/O error occurs
