public abstract class SctpServerChannel
extends AbstractSelectableChannel

A selectable channel for message-oriented listening SCTP sockets.

An SCTP server channel is created by invoking the open method of this class. A newly-created SCTP server socket channel is open but not yet bound. An attempt to invoke the accept method of an unbound channel will cause the NotYetBoundException to be thrown. An SCTP server socket channel can be bound by invoking one of the bind methods defined by this class.

Socket options are configured using the setOption method. SCTP server socket channels support the following options:

Option Name	Description
SCTP_INIT_MAXSTREAMS	The maximum number of streams requested by the local endpoint during association initialization

and may support additional (implementation specific) options. The list of options supported is obtained by invoking the options method.

SCTP server socket channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.

Since:

1.7

Constructor Detail

SctpServerChannel

protected SctpServerChannel(SelectorProvider provider)

Initializes a new instance of this class.

Parameters:

provider - The selector provider for this channel

Method Detail

open

public static SctpServerChannel open()
                              throws IOException,
                                     UnsupportedOperationException

Opens an SCTP server socket channel.

The new channel's socket is initially unbound; it must be bound to a specific address via one of its socket's bind methods before associations can be accepted.

Returns:

A new SCTP server socket channel

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - If the SCTP protocol is not supported

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

accept

public abstract SctpChannel accept()
                            throws IOException

Accepts an association on this channel's socket.

If this channel is in non-blocking mode then this method will immediately return null if there are no pending associations. Otherwise it will block indefinitely until a new association is available or an I/O error occurs.

The SCTP socket channel returned by this method, if any, will be in blocking mode regardless of the blocking mode of this channel.

If a security manager has been installed then for each new association this method verifies that the address and port number of the assocaitions's remote peer are permitted by the security manager's checkAccept method.

Returns:

The SCTP socket channel for the new association, or null if this channel is in non-blocking mode and no association is available to be accepted

Throws:

ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed

AsynchronousCloseException - If another thread closes this channel while the accept operation is in progress

ClosedByInterruptException - If another thread interrupts the current thread while the accept operation is in progress, thereby closing the channel and setting the current thread's interrupt status

NotYetBoundException - If this channel's socket has not yet been bound

SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit access to the remote peer of the new association

IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

bind

public final SctpServerChannel bind(SocketAddress local)
                             throws IOException

Binds the channel's socket to a local address and configures the socket to listen for associations.

This method works as if invoking it were equivalent to evaluating the expression:

 bind(local, 0);
 

Parameters:

local - The local address to bind the socket, or null to bind the socket to an automatically assigned socket address

Returns:

This channel

Throws:

ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed

AlreadyBoundException - If this channel is already bound

UnsupportedAddressTypeException - If the type of the given address is not supported

SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and its checkListen method denies the operation

IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

bind

public abstract SctpServerChannel bind(SocketAddress local,
                                       int backlog)
                                throws IOException

Binds the channel's socket to a local address and configures the socket to listen for associations.

This method is used to establish a relationship between the socket and the local address. Once a relationship is established then the socket remains bound until the channel is closed. This relationship may not necesssarily be with the address local as it may be removed by unbindAddress, but there will always be at least one local address bound to the channel's socket once an invocation of this method successfully completes.

An attempt to bind a socket that is already bound throws AlreadyBoundException. If the local parameter has the value null then the socket address is assigned automatically.

Once the channel's socket has been successfully bound more addresses may be bound to it using bindAddress, or removed using unbindAddress.

The backlog parameter is the maximum number of pending associations on the socket. Its exact semantics are implementation specific. An implementation may impose an implementation specific maximum length or may choose to ignore the parameter. If the backlog parameter has the value 0, or a negative value, then an implementation specific default is used.

Parameters:

local - The local address to bind the socket, or null to bind the socket to an automatically assigned socket address

backlog - The maximum number number of pending associations

Returns:

This channel

Throws:

ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed

AlreadyBoundException - If this channel is already bound

UnsupportedAddressTypeException - If the type of the given address is not supported

SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and its checkListen method denies the operation

IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

bindAddress

public abstract SctpServerChannel bindAddress(InetAddress address)
                                       throws IOException

Adds the given address to the bound addresses for the channel's socket.

The channel must be first bound using bind before invoking this method, otherwise NotYetBoundException is thrown. The bind method takes a SocketAddress as its argument which typically contains a port number as well as an address. Addresses subquently bound using this method are simply addresses as the SCTP port number remains the same for the lifetime of the channel.

New associations accepted after this method successfully completes will be associated with the given address.

Parameters:

address - The address to add to the bound addresses for the socket

Returns:

This channel

Throws:

ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed

NotYetBoundException - If this channel is not yet bound

IllegalArgumentException - If address is null

IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

unbindAddress

public abstract SctpServerChannel unbindAddress(InetAddress address)
                                         throws IOException

Removes the given address from the bound addresses for the channel's socket.

The channel must be first bound using bind before invoking this method, otherwise NotYetBoundException is thrown. If this method is invoked on a channel that does not have address as one of its bound addresses, or that has only one local address bound to it, then this method throws IllegalUnbindException. The initial address that the channel's socket is bound to using bind may be removed from the bound addresses for the channel's socket.

New associations accepted after this method successfully completes will not be associated with the given address.

Parameters:

address - The address to remove from the bound addresses for the socket

Returns:

This channel

Throws:

ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed

NotYetBoundException - If this channel is not yet bound

IllegalArgumentException - If address is null

IllegalUnbindException - If the implementation does not support removing addresses from a listening socket, address is not bound to the channel's socket, or the channel has only one address bound to it

IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

getAllLocalAddresses

public abstract Set<SocketAddress> getAllLocalAddresses()
                                                 throws IOException

Returns all of the socket addresses to which this channel's socket is bound.

Returns:

All the socket addresses that this channel's socket is bound to, or an empty Set if the channel is not open or the channel's socket is not bound

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

getOption

public abstract <T> T getOption(SctpSocketOption<T> name)
                     throws IOException

Returns the value of a socket option.

Parameters:

name - The socket option

Returns:

The value of the socket option. A value of null may be a valid value for some socket options.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the socket option is not supported by this channel

ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

SctpStandardSocketOption

setOption

public abstract <T> SctpServerChannel setOption(SctpSocketOption<T> name,
                                                T value)
                                     throws IOException

Sets the value of a socket option.

Parameters:

name - The socket option

value - The value of the socket option. A value of null may be a valid value for some socket options.

Returns:

This channel

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the socket option is not supported by this channel, or the value is not a valid value for this socket option

ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

See Also:

SctpStandardSocketOption

options

public abstract Set<SctpSocketOption<?>> options()

Returns a set of the socket options supported by this channel.

This method will continue to return the set of options even after the channel has been closed.

Returns:

A set of the socket options supported by this channel

validOps

public final int validOps()

Returns an operation set identifying this channel's supported operations.

SCTP server socket channels only support the accepting of new associations, so this method returns SelectionKey.OP_ACCEPT.

Specified by:

validOps in class SelectableChannel

Returns:

The valid-operation set
