Method Detail

accept

public StringConnection accept()
                        throws java.net.SocketException,
                               java.io.IOException

For server to call. Blocks waiting for next inbound connection.

Returns:

The server-side peer to the inbound client connection

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if network has a problem accepting

java.net.SocketException - if our setEOF() has been called, thus new clients won't receive any data from us

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Close down server socket immediately: Do not let inbound data drain. Accept no new inbound connections. Send EOF marker in all current outbound connections. Like java.net.ServerSocket, any thread currently blocked in accept() must throw a SocketException.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
