Class ContainerProcessor

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Processor

    public class ContainerProcessor
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Processor
    The ContainerProcessor object is used to create channels which can be used to consume and process requests. This is basically an adapter to the Selector which will convert the provided transport to a usable channel. Each of the connected pipelines will end up at this object, regardless of whether those connections are SSL or plain data.

        public ContainerProcessor​(Container container,
                                  Allocator allocator,
                                  int count)
                           throws java.io.IOException
        Constructor for the ContainerProcessor object. This is used to create a processor which will convert the provided transport objects to channels, which can then be processed by the selector and dispatched to the container.
        Parameters:
        container - the container to dispatch requests to
        allocator - this is the allocator used to buffer data
        count - this is the number of threads to be used
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException

      • process

        public void process​(Transport transport)
                     throws java.io.IOException
        This is used to process the requests from a provided transport and deliver a response to those requests. A transport can be a direct transport or a secure transport providing SSL.

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

        Specified by:
        process in interface Processor
        Parameters:
        transport - the transport to process requests from
        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 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 Processor
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
