Class ContainerServer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Server

    public class ContainerServer
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Server
    The ContainerServer object provides a processor that dispatch requests from a connected pipeline. SSL connections and plain connections can be processed by this implementation. It collects data from the connected pipelines and constructs the requests and responses used to dispatch to the container.

    In order to process the requests this uses two thread pools. One is used to collect data from the pipelines and create the requests. The other is used to service those requests. Such an architecture ensures that the serving thread does not have to deal with I/O operations. All data is consumed before it is serviced.

      • process

        public void process​(Socket socket)
                     throws java.io.IOException
        Used to process the Socket which is a full duplex communication link that may contain several HTTP requests. This will be used to read the requests from the Socket and to pass these requests to a Container for processing.

        Typical usage of this method is to accept multiple pipeline objects, each representing a unique HTTP channel to the client, and process requests from those pipelines concurrently.

        Specified by:
        process in interface Server
        Parameters:
        socket - this is the connected HTTP pipeline to process
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • stop

        public void stop()
                  throws java.io.IOException
        This method is used to stop the Processor such that it will accept no more pipelines. Stopping the processor ensures that all resources occupied will be released. This is required so that all threads are stopped, and all memory is released.

        Typically this method is called once all connections to the server have been stopped. As a final act of shutting down the entire server all threads must be stopped, this allows collection of unused memory and the closing of file and socket resources.

        Specified by:
        stop in interface Server
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
