Method Detail

setMessageServiceProvider

public void setMessageServiceProvider(MessageServiceProvider msp)

Set the MessageServiceProvider.

Parameters:

msp - the MessageServiceProvider

setFactory

public void setFactory(ServerSocketFactory factory)

Sets the server socket factory used by this connector.

Parameters:

factory - the new ServerSocketFactory for this connector

getFactory

public ServerSocketFactory getFactory()

Returns the server socket factory used by this connector.

Returns:

the ServerSocketFactory for this connector

getInfo

public String getInfo()

Returns descriptive information about this connector implementation.

Returns:

information about this Connector

setAddress

public void setAddress(String address)

Sets the IP address to which this connector binds.

Parameters:

address - the new IP address for this Connector

getAddress

public String getAddress()

Returns the IP address to which this connector binds.

Returns:

the IP address for this Connector

setPort

public void setPort(int port)

Sets the port to which this connector binds.

Parameters:

port - the port to which this connector binds

getPort

public int getPort()

Returns the port to which this connector binds.

Returns:

the port for this Connector

setAcceptCount

public void setAcceptCount(int count)

Sets the accept count for connections to this connector.

Parameters:

count - the new accept count for this Connector

getAcceptCount

public int getAcceptCount()

Returns the accept count for connections to this connector.

Returns:

the accept count for this Connector

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws LifecycleException

Invokes pre-startup initialization. This is used to allow connectors to bind to restricted ports under Unix operating environments.

Throws:

LifecycleException - if this Connector was already initialized

isStarted

public boolean isStarted()

Determine if the implementing Lifecycle object has been started.

Returns:

true if the Lifecycle object has been started, false otherwise

start

public void start()
           throws LifecycleException

Starts the connector listening for incoming connections.

Throws:

LifecycleException - ff this Connector was already started

stop

public void stop()
          throws LifecycleException

Stops the connector listening for incoming connections.

Throws:

LifecycleException - if this Connector was already stopped
