Interface Session

All Known Implementing Classes:

SessionImpl

public interface Session

A Web Socket session represents a conversation between two web socket endpoints. As soon as the websocket handshake completes successfully, the web socket implementation provides the endpoint an active websocket session. The endpoint can then register interest in incoming messages that are part of this newly created conversation by providing a MessageHandler to the session, and can send messages to the other end of the conversation by means of the RemoteEndpoint object obtained from this session.

Method Summary

void	addEncoder(Encoder tme)
void	addMessageHandler(MessageHandler listener) Register to handle to incoming messages in this conversation.
void	close() Close the current conversation with a normal status code and no reason phrase.
void	close(CloseReason closeStatus) Close the current conversation, giving a reason for the closure.
CloseReason	getCloseStatus() If this session is no longer active, returns the reason for closure.
long	getInactiveTime() Return the number of seconds since the underlying connection had any activity.
long	getMaximumMessageSize() The maximum total length of messages, text or binary, that this Session can handle.
Set	getMessageHandlers() Return an unmodifiable copy of the set of MessageHandlers for this Session.
List<Extension>	getNegotiatedExtensions() Return the list of extensions currently in use for this conversation.
String	getNegotiatedSubprotocol() Return the sub protocol agreed during the websocket handshake for this conversation.
String	getProtocolVersion() Returns the version of the websocket protocol currently being used.
RemoteEndpoint	getRemote() Return a reference to the RemoteEndpoint object representing the other end of this conversation.
RemoteEndpoint	getRemote(Class c) Return a reference to the RemoteEndpoint that can send messages in the form of objects of class c.
URI	getRequestURI() Return the URI that this session was opened under.
javax.servlet.http.HttpSession	getSession() Return a reference to the HttpSession that the web socket handshake that started this conversation was part of, if applicable.
long	getTimeout() Return the number of seconds before this conversation will be closed by the container if it is inactive, ie no messages are either sent or received in that time.
boolean	isActive() Return true if and only if the underlying socket is open.
boolean	isSecure() Return true if and only if the underlying socket is using a secure transport.
void	removeMessageHandler(MessageHandler listener) Remove the given MessageHandler from the set belonging to this session.
void	setMaximumMessageSize(long length) Sets the maximum total length of messages, text or binary, that this Session can handle.
void	setTimeout(long seconds) Set the number of seconds before this conversation will be closed by the container if it is inactive, ie no messages are either sent or received.

Method Detail

addEncoder

void addEncoder(Encoder tme)

addMessageHandler

void addMessageHandler(MessageHandler listener)

Register to handle to incoming messages in this conversation.

getMessageHandlers

Set getMessageHandlers()

Return an unmodifiable copy of the set of MessageHandlers for this Session.

removeMessageHandler

void removeMessageHandler(MessageHandler listener)

Remove the given MessageHandler from the set belonging to this session. TBD Threading issues wrt handler invocations vs removal

getProtocolVersion

String getProtocolVersion()

Returns the version of the websocket protocol currently being used. This is taken as the value of the Sec-WebSocket-Version header used in the opening handshake. i.e. "13".

getNegotiatedSubprotocol

String getNegotiatedSubprotocol()

Return the sub protocol agreed during the websocket handshake for this conversation.

getNegotiatedExtensions

List<Extension> getNegotiatedExtensions()

Return the list of extensions currently in use for this conversation.

isSecure

boolean isSecure()

Return true if and only if the underlying socket is using a secure transport.

getInactiveTime

long getInactiveTime()

Return the number of seconds since the underlying connection had any activity.

isActive

boolean isActive()

Return true if and only if the underlying socket is open.

getTimeout

long getTimeout()

Return the number of seconds before this conversation will be closed by the container if it is inactive, ie no messages are either sent or received in that time.

setTimeout

void setTimeout(long seconds)

Set the number of seconds before this conversation will be closed by the container if it is inactive, ie no messages are either sent or received.

setMaximumMessageSize

void setMaximumMessageSize(long length)

Sets the maximum total length of messages, text or binary, that this Session can handle.

getMaximumMessageSize

long getMaximumMessageSize()

The maximum total length of messages, text or binary, that this Session can handle.

getRemote

RemoteEndpoint getRemote()

Return a reference to the RemoteEndpoint object representing the other end of this conversation.

getRemote

RemoteEndpoint getRemote(Class c)

Return a reference to the RemoteEndpoint that can send messages in the form of objects of class c.

getSession

javax.servlet.http.HttpSession getSession()

Return a reference to the HttpSession that the web socket handshake that started this conversation was part of, if applicable.

Returns:

close

void close()
           throws IOException

Close the current conversation with a normal status code and no reason phrase.

Throws:

IOException

close

void close(CloseReason closeStatus)
           throws IOException

Close the current conversation, giving a reason for the closure. Note the websocket spec defines the acceptable uses of status codes and reason phrases.

Throws:

IOException

getCloseStatus

CloseReason getCloseStatus()

If this session is no longer active, returns the reason for closure. Otherwise, if the session is active, return null.

getRequestURI

URI getRequestURI()

Return the URI that this session was opened under.
