A Connector for TCP/IP network connectors

/** * <p>A {@link Connector} for TCP/IP network connectors</p> */
public interface NetworkConnector extends Connector, Closeable {

Performs the activities needed to open the network communication (for example, to start accepting incoming network connections).

Throws:
  • IOException – if this connector cannot be opened
See Also:
/** * <p>Performs the activities needed to open the network communication * (for example, to start accepting incoming network connections).</p> * * @throws IOException if this connector cannot be opened * @see #close() */
void open() throws IOException;

Performs the activities needed to close the network communication (for example, to stop accepting network connections).

Once a connector has been closed, it cannot be opened again without first calling LifeCycle.stop() and it will not be active again until a subsequent call to LifeCycle.start()

@Override void close();
A Connector may be opened and not started (to reserve a port) or closed and running (to allow graceful shutdown of existing connections)
Returns:True if the connector is Open.

boolean isOpen();
Returns:The hostname representing the interface to which this connector will bind, or null for all interfaces.

String getHost();
Returns:The configured port for the connector or 0 if any available port may be used.

int getPort();
Returns:The actual port the connector is listening on, or -1 if it has not been opened, or -2 if it has been closed.
