Constructor Detail

TCPServer

public TCPServer(DNSServerSettings settings,
                 DNSResponder responder)
          throws DNSException

Creates a TCP socket server. The server will not start accepting messages until the start() method is called.

Parameters:

settings - The server settings. The settings contain specific IP and socket configuration parameters.

responsder - The DNS responder that will handle lookups.

Throws:

DNSException

Method Detail

start

public void start()
           throws DNSException

Starts the socket server and initializes the dispatch threads. After this method has been called, the server will start accepting DNS requests.

Overrides:

start in class DNSSocketServer

Throws:

DNSException

stop

public void stop()
          throws DNSException

Shuts down the socket server and terminates the server from accepting additional requests. The server attempts to gracefully shutdown the processing threads and gives currently running processing threads a chance to finish.

Overrides:

stop in class DNSSocketServer

Throws:

DNSException

createServerSocket

public void createServerSocket()
                        throws DNSException

Creates and initializes the socket implementation that will accept incoming requests.

Specified by:

createServerSocket in class DNSSocketServer

Throws:

DNSException

getSocketAcceptTask

public Runnable getSocketAcceptTask()

Gets the Runnable task that will be responsible for accepting connections. This task is placed in a single thread, so it should loop until the running flag is set to false.

Specified by:

getSocketAcceptTask in class DNSSocketServer

Returns:

The Runnable task that will be responsible for accepting connections

getDNSRequestTask

public Runnable getDNSRequestTask(Object s)

Gets the Runnable task that will process a DNS request. Each accepted request will create a new instance of the Runnable task and run it in its own thread.

Specified by:

getDNSRequestTask in class DNSSocketServer

Parameters:

s - An arbitrary parameter passed to the Runnable task. This parameter generally contain the DNS request information. This may be the TCP socket from the accept() server socket call or a UDP datagram packet.

Returns:

The Runnable task that will process a DNS request

getMissedRequestCount

public Long getMissedRequestCount()

Gets the number of requests that returned no records without error.

Returns:

The number of request that returned no records without error.

getSuccessfulRequestCount

public Long getSuccessfulRequestCount()

Gets the number of requests that returned without error. NXDOMAIN statuses qualify as successful requests.

Returns:

The number of requests that returned without error.

getErrorRequestCount

public Long getErrorRequestCount()

Gets the number of requests that resulted in an error.

Returns:

The number of requests that resulted in an error.
