SocketChannel

protected SocketChannel(SelectorProvider provider)
Initializes this socket channel.

Method Details

connect

public abstract boolean connect(SocketAddress remote)
            throws IOException
Connects the channel's socket to the remote address.
Returns:
true if the channel got successfully connected, false if the channel is in non-blocking mode and connection operation is still in progress.
Throws:
AlreadyConnectedException - If this channel is already connected.
ConnectionPendingException - If a non-blocking connection operation is already in progress on this channel.
IOException - If an error occurs
SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit access to the given remote endpoint.
UnresolvedAddressException - If the given remote address is not fully resolved.
UnsupportedAddressTypeException - If the type of the given remote address is not supported.

finishConnect

public abstract boolean finishConnect()
            throws IOException
Finishes the process of connecting a socket channel.
Throws:
IOException - If an error occurs
NoConnectionPendingException - If this channel is not connected and a connection operation has not been initiated.

isConnected

public abstract boolean isConnected()
Tells whether or not the channel's socket is connected.

isConnectionPending

public abstract boolean isConnectionPending()
Tells whether or not a connection operation is in progress on this channel.

open

public static SocketChannel open()
            throws IOException
Opens a socket channel.
Returns:
the new SocketChannel object
Throws:
IOException - If an error occurs

open

public static SocketChannel open(SocketAddress remote)
            throws IOException
Opens a channel and connects it to a remote address.
Returns:
the new SocketChannel object
Throws:
IOException - If an error occurs
SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit access to the given remote endpoint.
UnresolvedAddressException - If the given remote address is not fully resolved.
UnsupportedAddressTypeException - If the type of the given remote address is not supported.

read

public abstract int read(ByteBuffer dst)
            throws IOException
Reads data from the channel.
Specified by:
read in interface ReadableByteChannel
Returns:
the number of bytes read, zero is valid too, -1 if end of stream is reached

Throws:
IOException - If an error occurs
NotYetConnectedException - If this channel is not yet connected.

read

public abstract long read(ByteBuffer[] dsts,
                          int offset,
