Field Details

The file descriptor object.

Constructor Details

DatagramSocketImpl

public DatagramSocketImpl()

Constructor for subclasses to call.

Method Details

create

protected abstract void create() throws SocketException

Creates a datagram socket.

Throws:: SocketException - if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.

bind

protected abstract void bind(int lport, InetAddress laddr) throws SocketException

Binds a datagram socket to a local port and address.

Parameters:: lport - the local port; laddr - the local address
Throws:: SocketException - if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.

send

protected abstract void send(DatagramPacket p) throws IOException

Sends a datagram packet. The packet contains the data and the destination address to send the packet to.

Parameters:: p - the packet to be sent.
Throws:: IOException - if an I/O exception occurs while sending the datagram packet.; PortUnreachableException - may be thrown if the socket is connected to a currently unreachable destination. Note, there is no guarantee that the exception will be thrown.

connect

protected void connect(InetAddress address, int port) throws SocketException

Connects a datagram socket to a remote destination. This associates the remote address with the local socket so that datagrams may only be sent to this destination and received from this destination. This may be overridden to call a native system connect.

If the remote destination to which the socket is connected does not exist, or is otherwise unreachable, and if an ICMP destination unreachable packet has been received for that address, then a subsequent call to send or receive may throw a PortUnreachableException. Note, there is no guarantee that the exception will be thrown.

Implementation Requirements:: The default implementation of this method throws SocketException.
Parameters:: address - the remote InetAddress to connect to; port - the remote port number
Throws:: SocketException - may be thrown if the socket cannot be connected to the remote destination
Since:: 1.4

disconnect

protected void disconnect()

Disconnects a datagram socket from its remote destination.

Implementation Requirements:: The default implementation of this method throws UncheckedIOException.
Throws:: UncheckedIOException - if disconnect fails or no implementation is provided
Since:: 1.4

peek

protected abstract int peek(InetAddress i) throws IOException

Peek at the packet to see who it is from. Updates the specified InetAddress to the address which the packet came from.

Parameters:: i - an InetAddress object
Returns:: the port number which the packet came from.
Throws:: IOException - if an I/O exception occurs; PortUnreachableException - may be thrown if the socket is connected to a currently unreachable destination. Note, there is no guarantee that the exception will be thrown.

peekData

protected abstract int peekData(DatagramPacket p) throws IOException

Peek at the packet to see who it is from. The data is copied into the specified DatagramPacket. The data is returned, but not consumed, so that a subsequent peekData/receive operation will see the same data.

Parameters:: p - the Packet Received.
Returns:: the port number which the packet came from.
Throws:: IOException - if an I/O exception occurs; PortUnreachableException - may be thrown if the socket is connected to a currently unreachable destination. Note, there is no guarantee that the exception will be thrown.
Since:: 1.4

receive

protected abstract void receive(DatagramPacket p) throws IOException

Receive the datagram packet.

Parameters:: p - the Packet Received.
Throws:: IOException - if an I/O exception occurs while receiving the datagram packet.; PortUnreachableException - may be thrown if the socket is connected to a currently unreachable destination. Note, there is no guarantee that the exception will be thrown.

setTimeToLive

protected abstract void setTimeToLive(int ttl) throws IOException

Set the TTL (time-to-live) option.

Parameters:

ttl - an int specifying the time-to-live value

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs while setting the time-to-live option.

See Also:

getTimeToLive

protected abstract int getTimeToLive() throws IOException

Retrieve the TTL (time-to-live) option.

Returns:

an int representing the time-to-live value

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs while retrieving the time-to-live option

Throws:: UnsupportedOperationException - if the DatagramSocketImpl does not support the option; IllegalArgumentException - if the value is not valid for the option; IOException - if an I/O error occurs, or if the socket is closed; NullPointerException - if name is null

getOption

protected <T> T getOption(SocketOption<T> name) throws IOException

Called to get a socket option.
