      private OncRpcTcpSocketHelper socketHelper
      Socket helper object supplying missing methods for JDK 1.1 backwards compatibility. So much for compile once, does not run everywhere.
    • sendingXdr

      private XdrTcpEncodingStream sendingXdr
      XDR encoding stream used for sending replies via TCP/IP back to an ONC/RPC client.
    • receivingXdr

      private XdrTcpDecodingStream receivingXdr
      XDR decoding stream used when receiving requests via TCP/IP from ONC/RPC clients.
    • pendingDecoding

      private boolean pendingDecoding
      Indicates that BeginDecoding has been called for the receiving XDR stream, so that it should be closed later using EndDecoding.
    • pendingEncoding

      private boolean pendingEncoding
      Indicates that BeginEncoding has been called for the sending XDR stream, so in face of exceptions we can not send an error reply to the client but only drop the connection.

      public OncRpcTcpConnectionServerTransport(OncRpcDispatchable dispatcher, Socket socket, int program, int version, int bufferSize, OncRpcTcpServerTransport parent, int transmissionTimeout) throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Create a new instance of a OncRpcTcpSConnectionerverTransport which encapsulates TCP/IP-based XDR streams of an ONC/RPC server. This particular server transport handles individual ONC/RPC connections over TCP/IP. This constructor is a convenience constructor for those transports handling only a single ONC/RPC program and version number.
      Parameters:
      dispatcher - Reference to interface of an object capable of dispatching (handling) ONC/RPC calls.
      socket - TCP/IP-based socket of new connection.
      program - Number of ONC/RPC program handled by this server transport.
      version - Version number of ONC/RPC program handled.
      bufferSize - Size of buffer used when receiving and sending chunks of XDR fragments over TCP/IP. The fragments built up to form ONC/RPC call and reply messages.
      parent - Parent server transport which created us.
      transmissionTimeout - Inherited transmission timeout.
      Throws:
      OncRpcException
      IOException

  • Method Details

    • close

      public void close()
      Close the server transport and free any resources associated with it.

      Note that the server transport is not deregistered. You'll have to do it manually if you need to do so. The reason for this behaviour is, that the portmapper removes all entries regardless of the protocol (TCP/IP or UDP/IP) for a given ONC/RPC program number and version.

      Calling this method on a OncRpcTcpServerTransport results in the listening TCP network socket immediately being closed. The handler thread will therefore either terminate directly or when it tries to sent back replies.

      Specified by:
      close in class OncRpcServerTransport
    • finalize

      protected void finalize()
      Finalize object by making sure that we're removed from the list of open transports which our parent transport maintains.
      Overrides:
      finalize in class Object
    • register

      public void register() throws OncRpcException
      Do not call.
      Specified by:
      register in class OncRpcServerTransport
      Throws:
      Error - because this method must not be called for an individual TCP/IP-based server transport.
      OncRpcException - if the portmapper could not be contacted successfully.
    • retrieveCall

      public void retrieveCall(XdrAble call) throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Retrieves the parameters sent within an ONC/RPC call message. It also makes sure that the deserialization process is properly finished after the call parameters have been retrieved. Under the hood this method therefore calls XdrDecodingStream.endDecoding() to free any pending resources from the decoding stage.
      Specified by:
      retrieveCall in class OncRpcServerTransport
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully deserialized.
      IOException - if an I/O exception occurs, like transmission failures over the network, etc.
    • getXdrDecodingStream

      protected XdrDecodingStream getXdrDecodingStream()
      Returns XDR stream which can be used for deserializing the parameters of this ONC/RPC call. This method belongs to the lower-level access pattern when handling ONC/RPC calls.
      Specified by:
      getXdrDecodingStream in class OncRpcServerTransport
      Returns:
      Reference to decoding XDR stream.
    • endDecoding

      protected void endDecoding() throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Finishes call parameter deserialization. Afterwards the XDR stream returned by getXdrDecodingStream() must not be used any more. This method belongs to the lower-level access pattern when handling ONC/RPC calls.
      Specified by:
      endDecoding in class OncRpcServerTransport
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully deserialized.
      IOException - if an I/O exception occurs, like transmission failures over the network, etc.
    • getXdrEncodingStream

      protected XdrEncodingStream getXdrEncodingStream()
      Returns XDR stream which can be used for eserializing the reply to this ONC/RPC call. This method belongs to the lower-level access pattern when handling ONC/RPC calls.
      Specified by:
      getXdrEncodingStream in class OncRpcServerTransport
      Returns:
      Reference to enecoding XDR stream.
    • beginEncoding

      protected void beginEncoding(OncRpcCallInformation callInfo, OncRpcServerReplyMessage state) throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Begins the sending phase for ONC/RPC replies. This method belongs to the lower-level access pattern when handling ONC/RPC calls.
      Specified by:
      beginEncoding in class OncRpcServerTransport
      Parameters:
      callInfo - Information about ONC/RPC call for which we are about to send back the reply.
      state - ONC/RPC reply header indicating success or failure.
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully serialized.
      IOException - if an I/O exception occurs, like transmission
    • endEncoding

      protected void endEncoding() throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Finishes encoding the reply to this ONC/RPC call. Afterwards you must not use the XDR stream returned by getXdrEncodingStream() any longer.
      Specified by:
      endEncoding in class OncRpcServerTransport
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully serialized.
      IOException - if an I/O exception occurs, like transmission failures over the network, etc.
    • reply

      protected void reply(OncRpcCallInformation callInfo, OncRpcServerReplyMessage state, XdrAble reply) throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Send back an ONC/RPC reply to the original caller. This is rather a low-level method, typically not used by applications. Dispatcher handling ONC/RPC calls have to use the OncRpcCallInformation.reply(XdrAble) method instead on the call object supplied to the handler.
      Specified by:
      reply in class OncRpcServerTransport
      Parameters:
      callInfo - information about the original call, which are necessary to send back the reply to the appropriate caller.
      state - ONC/RPC reply message header indicating success or failure and containing associated state information.
      reply - If not null, then this parameter references the reply to be serialized after the reply message header.
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully serialized.
      IOException - if an I/O exception occurs, like transmission failures over the network, etc.

    • listen

      public void listen()
      Creates a new thread and uses this thread to handle the new connection to receive ONC/RPC requests, then dispatching them and finally sending back reply messages. Control in the calling thread immediately returns after the handler thread has been created.

      Currently only one call after the other is dispatched, so no multithreading is done when receiving multiple calls. Instead, later calls have to wait for the current call to finish before they are handled.

      Specified by:
      listen in class OncRpcServerTransport
    • _listen

      private void _listen()
      The real workhorse handling incoming requests, dispatching them and sending back replies.
    • setCharacterEncoding

      public void setCharacterEncoding(String characterEncoding)
      Set the character encoding for (de-)serializing strings.
      Specified by:
      setCharacterEncoding in class OncRpcServerTransport
      Parameters:
      characterEncoding - the encoding to use for (de-)serializing strings. If null, the system's default encoding is to be used.
    • getCharacterEncoding

      public String getCharacterEncoding()
      Get the character encoding for (de-)serializing strings.
      Specified by:
      getCharacterEncoding in class OncRpcServerTransport
      Returns:
      the encoding currently used for (de-)serializing strings. If null, then the system's default encoding is used.
