Interface WebSocketContainer

All Known Subinterfaces:

ServerContainer

public interface WebSocketContainer

A WebSocketContainer is an implementation provided object that provides applications a view on the container running it. The WebSocketContainer container various configuration parameters that control default session and buffer properties of the endpoints it contains. It also allows the developer to deploy websocket client endpoints by initiating a web socket handshake from the provided endpoint to a supplied URI where the peer endpoint is presumed to reside.

A WebSocketContainer may be accessed by concurrent threads, so implementations must ensure the integrity of its mutable attributes in such circumstances.

Method Detail

getDefaultAsyncSendTimeout

long getDefaultAsyncSendTimeout()

Return the number of milliseconds the implementation will timeout attempting to send a websocket message for all RemoteEndpoints associated with this container. A non-positive number indicates the implementation will not timeout attempting to send a websocket message asynchronously. Note this default may be overridden in each RemoteEndpoint.

Returns:

the timeout time in milliseconds.

setAsyncSendTimeout

void setAsyncSendTimeout(long timeoutmillis)

Sets the number of milliseconds the implementation will timeout attempting to send a websocket message for all RemoteEndpoints associated with this container. A non-positive number indicates the implementation will not timeout attempting to send a websocket message asynchronously. Note this default may be overridden in each RemoteEndpoint.

Parameters:

timeoutmillis - the timeout in milliseconds or a non-positive number for no timeout

connectToServer

Session connectToServer(Object annotatedEndpointInstance,
                        URI path)
                 throws DeploymentException,
                        IOException

Connect the supplied annotated endpoint instance to its server. The supplied object must be a class decorated with the class level javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpoint annotation. This method blocks until the connection is established, or throws an error if either the connection could not be made or there was a problem with the supplied endpoint class. If the developer uses this method to deploy the client endpoint, services like dependency injection that are supported, for example, when the implementation is part of the Java EE platform may not be available. If the client endpoint uses dependency injection, use connectToServer(java.lang.Class, java.net.URI) instead.

Parameters:

annotatedEndpointInstance - the annotated websocket client endpoint instance.

path - the complete path to the server endpoint.

Returns:

the Session created if the connection is successful.

Throws:

DeploymentException - if the annotated endpoint instance is not valid.

IOException - if there was a network or protocol problem that prevented the client endpoint being connected to its server.

IllegalStateException - if called during the deployment phase of the containing application.

connectToServer

Session connectToServer(Class<?> annotatedEndpointClass,
                        URI path)
                 throws DeploymentException,
                        IOException

Connect the supplied annotated endpoint to its server. The supplied object must be a class decorated with the class level javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpoint annotation. This method blocks until the connection is established, or throws an error if either the connection could not be made or there was a problem with the supplied endpoint class.

Parameters:

annotatedEndpointClass - the annotated websocket client endpoint.

path - the complete path to the server endpoint.

Returns:

the Session created if the connection is successful.

Throws:

DeploymentException - if the class is not a valid annotated endpoint class.

IOException - if there was a network or protocol problem that prevented the client endpoint being connected to its server.

IllegalStateException - if called during the deployment phase of the containing application.

connectToServer

Session connectToServer(Endpoint endpointInstance,
                        ClientEndpointConfig cec,
                        URI path)
                 throws DeploymentException,
                        IOException

Connect the supplied programmatic client endpoint instance to its server with the given configuration. This method blocks until the connection is established, or throws an error if the connection could not be made. If the developer uses this method to deploy the client endpoint, services like dependency injection that are supported, for example, when the implementation is part of the Java EE platform may not be available. If the client endpoint uses dependency injection, use connectToServer(java.lang.Class, javax.websocket.ClientEndpointConfig, java.net.URI) instead.

Parameters:

endpointInstance - the programmatic client endpoint instance Endpoint.

path - the complete path to the server endpoint.

cec - the configuration used to configure the programmatic endpoint.

Returns:

the Session created if the connection is successful.

Throws:

DeploymentException - if the configuration is not valid

IOException - if there was a network or protocol problem that prevented the client endpoint being connected to its server

IllegalStateException - if called during the deployment phase of the containing application.

connectToServer

Session connectToServer(Class<? extends Endpoint> endpointClass,
                        ClientEndpointConfig cec,
                        URI path)
                 throws DeploymentException,
                        IOException

Connect the supplied programmatic endpoint to its server with the given configuration. This method blocks until the connection is established, or throws an error if the connection could not be made.

Parameters:

endpointClass - the programmatic client endpoint class Endpoint.

path - the complete path to the server endpoint.

cec - the configuration used to configure the programmatic endpoint.

Returns:

the Session created if the connection is successful.

DeploymentException - if the configuration is not valid

IOException - if there was a network or protocol problem that prevented the client endpoint being connected to its server

IllegalStateException - if called during the deployment phase of the containing application.

getDefaultMaxSessionIdleTimeout

long getDefaultMaxSessionIdleTimeout()

Return the default time in milliseconds after which any web socket sessions in this container will be closed if it has been inactive.

the default number of milliseconds after which an idle session in this container will be closed

setDefaultMaxSessionIdleTimeout

void setDefaultMaxSessionIdleTimeout(long timeout)

Sets the default time in milliseconds after which any web socket sessions in this container will be closed if it has been inactive.

Parameters:

timeout - the maximum time in milliseconds.

getDefaultMaxBinaryMessageBufferSize
