Package org.refcodes.io

Interface BlockReceiver<DATA extends java.io.Serializable>

Type Parameters:

DATA - The type of the datagram block (array) to be operated with. Do not provide an array type as the methods use to generic type for defining an array argument.

All Superinterfaces:

BlockProvider<DATA>, org.refcodes.component.Closable, org.refcodes.component.Closable.CloseAutomaton, org.refcodes.component.ClosedAccessor, org.refcodes.component.ConnectableComponent, org.refcodes.component.ConnectableComponent.ConnectableAutomaton, org.refcodes.component.ConnectionStatusAccessor, org.refcodes.component.OpenedAccessor, Receivable, org.refcodes.mixin.Releaseable

All Known Subinterfaces:

BidirectionalConnectionTransceiver<DATA,INPUT,OUTPUT>, BidirectionalStreamConnectionTransceiver<DATA>, BlockTransceiver<DATA>, ConnectionReceiver<DATA,CON>, ConnectionTransceiver<DATA,CON>, InputStreamConnectionReceiver<DATA>, LoopbackReceiver<DATA>, LoopbackTransceiver<DATA>, Receiver<DATA>, Transceiver<DATA>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractInputStreamReceiver, AbstractPrefetchInputStreamReceiver, AbstractReceiver, BidirectionalStreamConnectionTransceiverImpl, BidirectionalStreamTransceiverImpl, InputStreamConnectionReceiverImpl, InputStreamReceiverImpl, LoopbackReceiverImpl, LoopbackTransceiverImpl, PrefetchBidirectionalStreamConnectionTransceiverImpl, PrefetchBidirectionalStreamTransceiverImpl, PrefetchInputStreamConnectionReceiverImpl, PrefetchInputStreamReceiverImpl, ReceiverDecorator

public interface BlockReceiver<DATA extends java.io.Serializable>
extends BlockProvider<DATA>, Receivable

The BlockReceiver is used to receive datagram blocks (arrays) in a unified way. The BlockProvider.readDatagrams() method provides the next available datagram block from the counterpart BlockSender or DatagramSender; in case there is none available, then this method halts until one is available or the BlockReceiver is being shut down or the underlying connection is closed. The Receivable.hasDatagram() method returns true in case a next datagram(s) can be fetched via the BlockProvider.readDatagrams() method from the BlockReceiver counterpart.
