Method Detail

parent

ServerSocketChannel parent()

Description copied from interface: Channel

Returns the parent of this channel.

Specified by:

parent in interface Channel

Returns:

the parent channel. null if this channel does not have a parent channel.

config

SocketChannelConfig config()

Description copied from interface: Channel

Returns the configuration of this channel.

Specified by:

config in interface Channel

localAddress

InetSocketAddress localAddress()

Description copied from interface: Channel

Returns the local address where this channel is bound to. The returned SocketAddress is supposed to be down-cast into more concrete type such as InetSocketAddress to retrieve the detailed information.

Specified by:

localAddress in interface Channel

Returns:

the local address of this channel. null if this channel is not bound.

remoteAddress

InetSocketAddress remoteAddress()

Description copied from interface: Channel

Returns the remote address where this channel is connected to. The returned SocketAddress is supposed to be down-cast into more concrete type such as InetSocketAddress to retrieve the detailed information.

Specified by:

remoteAddress in interface Channel

Returns:

the remote address of this channel. null if this channel is not connected. If this channel is not connected but it can receive messages from arbitrary remote addresses (e.g. DatagramChannel, use DefaultAddressedEnvelope.recipient() to determine the origination of the received message as this method will return null.

isInputShutdown

boolean isInputShutdown()

Returns true if and only if the remote peer shut down its output so that no more data is received from this channel. Note that the semantic of this method is different from that of Socket.shutdownInput() and Socket.isInputShutdown().

isOutputShutdown

boolean isOutputShutdown()

See Also:

Socket.isOutputShutdown()

shutdownOutput

ChannelFuture shutdownOutput()

See Also:

Socket.shutdownOutput()

shutdownOutput

disconnect

ChannelFuture disconnect()

close

ChannelFuture close()

Request to close this ChannelOutboundInvoker and notify the ChannelFuture once the operation completes, either because the operation was successful or because of an error. After it is closed it is not possible to reuse it again.

write

ChannelFuture write(Object msg)

Request to write a message via this ChannelOutboundInvoker through the ChannelPipeline. This method will not request to actual flush, so be sure to call flush() once you want to request to flush all pending data to the actual transport.

                  ChannelPromise promise)

Request to write a message via this ChannelOutboundInvoker through the ChannelPipeline. This method will not request to actual flush, so be sure to call flush() once you want to request to flush all pending data to the actual transport.

Return the assigned ChannelPipeline

alloc

io.netty.buffer.ByteBufAllocator alloc()

Return the assigned ByteBufAllocator which will be used to allocate ByteBufs.

newPromise

ChannelPromise newPromise()

Return a new ChannelPromise.

newProgressivePromise

ChannelProgressivePromise newProgressivePromise()

Return an new ChannelProgressivePromise

newSucceededFuture

ChannelFuture newSucceededFuture()

Create a new ChannelFuture which is marked as succeeded already. So Future.isSuccess() will return true. All FutureListener added to it will be notified directly. Also every call of blocking methods will just return without blocking.

newFailedFuture

ChannelFuture newFailedFuture(Throwable cause)

Create a new ChannelFuture which is marked as failed already. So Future.isSuccess() will return false. All FutureListener added to it will be notified directly. Also every call of blocking methods will just return without blocking.

voidPromise

ChannelPromise voidPromise()

Return a special ChannelPromise which can be reused for different operations.

It's only supported to use it for ChannelOutboundInvoker.write(Object, ChannelPromise).

Be aware that the returned ChannelPromise will not support most operations and should only be used if you want to save an object allocation for every write operation. You will not be able to detect if the operation was complete, only if it failed as the implementation will call ChannelPipeline.fireExceptionCaught(Throwable) in this case.

Be aware this is an expert feature and should be used with care!
