Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default short[]	readDatagrams()	Caution: Reads till an OpenException (or an InterruptedException in case of blocking till more data is available) occurs.
default short[]	readDatagrams(int aBlockSize)	Similar to ShortBlockProvider.readDatagrams() though at maximum the amount of data as provided by the block-size is returned.

Method Detail

readDatagrams

default short[] readDatagrams()
                       throws org.refcodes.component.OpenException,
                              InterruptedException

Caution: Reads till an OpenException (or an InterruptedException in case of blocking till more data is available) occurs. Reads (receives) the next short block passed from a BlockSender or DatagramSender counterpart. In case none short block is available, then this method blocks until one is available. When a Thread is waiting for a short to be read and Thread.interrupt() is being called, then the operation is aborted and an InterruptedException is thrown.

Specified by:

readDatagrams in interface ShortBlockProvider

Returns:

The next short block sent from the BlockSender or DatagramReceiver counterpart.

Throws:

org.refcodes.component.OpenException - Thrown in case opening or accessing an open line (connection, junction, link) caused problems.

InterruptedException - Thrown when a Thread is waiting, sleeping, or otherwise occupied, and the Thread is interrupted, either before or during the activity.

readDatagrams

default short[] readDatagrams(int aBlockSize)
                       throws org.refcodes.component.OpenException,
                              InterruptedException

Similar to ShortBlockProvider.readDatagrams() though at maximum the amount of data as provided by the block-size is returned.

Specified by:

readDatagrams in interface ShortBlockProvider

Parameters:

aBlockSize - The block-size which is not to exceeded by the returned data. A value of -1 specifies to retrieve all available datagrams (same behavior as method ShortBlockProvider.readDatagrams().

Returns:

The next short block sent from the BlockSender or DatagramReceiver counterpart.

Throws:

org.refcodes.component.OpenException - Thrown in case opening or accessing an open line (connection, junction, link) caused problems.

InterruptedException - Thrown when a Thread is waiting, sleeping, or otherwise occupied, and the Thread is interrupted, either before or during the activity.
