IIPPlugin, IExtension, IOperation, IPlugin, IStreamer, ITransceiver

Direct Known Subclasses:

MxIPBroadcastTransceiver

public class IPBroadcastTransceiver
extends java.lang.Object
implements IIPPlugin, ITransceiver, IOperation

The ip broadcast transceiver plug-in delivers a transport end point based on ip. Broadcast channels are implemented with datagram sockets above port 12500 and unicast channels rely on tcp. The implementation of this plug-in is intended for all J2ME configurations starting from CDC with foundation profile.

Constructor Detail

IPBroadcastTransceiver

public IPBroadcastTransceiver()

Creates a new instance of the plug-in that binds to any ip address and port number that is available on the local system. For this plug-in, the tcp no delay option will be set.

IPBroadcastTransceiver

public IPBroadcastTransceiver(boolean nodelay)

Creates a new instance of the plug-in that binds to any ip address and port number that is available on the local system. The flag indicates whether the tcp nodelay option will be set.

Parameters:

nodelay - The flag that indicates whether the tcp no delay option will be set.

IPBroadcastTransceiver

public IPBroadcastTransceiver(byte[] address)

Creates a new instance of the plug-in that binds only to the specified ip address. Note that the bytes are interpreted in 2 complement. The first byte is the most significant.

Parameters:

address - The ip address to bind to or null if any.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if the address does not indicate a valid ip address or if the address is part of the filter list.

IPBroadcastTransceiver

public IPBroadcastTransceiver(byte[] address,
                      boolean nodelay)

Creates a new instance of the plug-in that binds only to the specified ip address. Note that the bytes are interpreted in 2 complement. The first byte is the most significant.

Parameters:

address - The ip address to bind to or null if any.

nodelay - The flag that indicates whether the tcp no delay option will be set.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if the address does not indicate a valid ip address or if the address is part of the filter list.

Method Detail

setTransceiverManager

public void setTransceiverManager(ITransceiverManager manager)

Called by the plug-in manager during initialization of the plug-in. A call to this method will overwrite the currently stored reference to a potentially already initialized manager. This should not be a problem except if the same plug-in instance is installed twice.

Specified by:

setTransceiverManager in interface ITransceiver

Parameters:

manager - The manager of the plug-in used to interface with other plug-ins and to retrieve connection parameters.

perform

public void perform(IMonitor monitor)
             throws java.lang.Exception

Called when the operation is started. The operation opens a server socket on an interface and continuously listens to it for incoming connections. If a connection is created, it dispatches it is dispatched current plug-in manager. The monitor is checked every TIMEOUT_PERIOD milliseconds. If the monitor is canceled, the operation is finished.

Specified by:

perform in interface IOperation

Parameters:

monitor - The monitor that is used to signal changes.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - Should never happen.

prepareSession

public boolean prepareSession(PluginDescription description,
                     NFCollection collection,
                     ISession session)

Called in order to prepare a session. Updates the session with local attributes regarding the address and port of the remote system.

Specified by:

prepareSession in interface IStreamer

Parameters:

description - The description of the remote system.

collection - The requirements regarding the communication.

session - The session that holds the attributes.

Returns:

True if the session can be established, false if the port or the address are not set.

openSession

public IStreamConnector openSession(ISession session)
                             throws java.io.IOException

Opens a connection to the specified system. A call to this method will first determine whether it is possible to open a connection. If it is not possible due to the state of the plug-in (e.g., if it is disabled) an exception will be thrown.

Specified by:

openSession in interface IStreamer

Parameters:

session - The session data that has been prepared by the prepare method.

Returns:

The connector for the session.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Thrown if the connector cannot be opened.

openGroup

public IPacketConnector openGroup()
                           throws java.io.IOException

Opens a connector that connects to the specified group. A call to this method will first determine whether it is possible to open a connection. If it is not possible due to the state of the plug-in (e.g., if it is disabled) an exception will be thrown.

Specified by:

openGroup in interface ITransceiver

Returns:

The connector for the group.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Thrown if the connector cannot be opened.

start

public void start()

Called by the plug-in manager to start the stopped plug-in. A call to this method will enable the end point in such a way that it will enable incoming and outgoing connections.

Specified by:

start in interface IPlugin

stop

public void stop()

Called by the plug-in manager to stop the started plug-in. A call to this method will automatically close all incoming and outgoing connections and it will disable the end point.

Specified by:

stop in interface IPlugin

getPluginDescription

public PluginDescription getPluginDescription()

Returns the description of the plug-in.

Specified by:

getPluginDescription in interface IPlugin

Returns:

The plugin's description.

addTransceiverListener

public void addTransceiverListener(int type,
                          IListener listener)
                            throws java.lang.NullPointerException

Adds a listener to the bundle of registered end point listeners. The properly registered listeners will be informed if the state of the end point changes.

Specified by:

addTransceiverListener in interface ITransceiver

Parameters:

type - The type of event to register for.

listener - The listener to register.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - Thrown if the listener is null.

removeTransceiverListener
