Class BlockingClient

java.lang.Object

org.bitcoinj.net.BlockingClient

All Implemented Interfaces:

MessageWriteTarget

public class BlockingClient
extends Object
implements MessageWriteTarget

Creates a simple connection to a server using a StreamConnection to process data.

Generally, using NioClient and NioClientManager should be preferred over BlockingClient and BlockingClientManager, unless you wish to connect over a proxy or use some other network settings that cannot be set using NIO.

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor and Description
BlockingClient(SocketAddress serverAddress, StreamConnection connection, int connectTimeoutMillis, SocketFactory socketFactory, Set<BlockingClient> clientSet) Creates a new client to the given server address using the given StreamConnection to decode the data.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	closeConnection() Closes the connection to the server, triggering the StreamConnection.connectionClosed() event on the network-handling thread where all callbacks occur.
ListenableFuture<SocketAddress>	getConnectFuture() Returns a future that completes once connection has occurred at the socket level or with an exception if failed to connect.
static void	runReadLoop(InputStream stream, StreamConnection connection) A blocking call that never returns, except by throwing an exception.
void	writeBytes(byte[] message) Writes the given bytes to the remote server.

Constructor Detail

BlockingClient

public BlockingClient(SocketAddress serverAddress,
                      StreamConnection connection,
                      int connectTimeoutMillis,
                      SocketFactory socketFactory,
                      @Nullable
                      Set<BlockingClient> clientSet)
               throws IOException

Creates a new client to the given server address using the given StreamConnection to decode the data. The given connection MUST be unique to this object. This does not block while waiting for the connection to open, but will call either the StreamConnection.connectionOpened() or StreamConnection.connectionClosed() callback on the created network event processing thread.

Parameters:

connectTimeoutMillis - The connect timeout set on the connection (in milliseconds). 0 is interpreted as no timeout.

socketFactory - An object that creates Socket objects on demand, which may be customised to control how this client connects to the internet. If not sure, use SocketFactory.getDefault()

clientSet - A set which this object will add itself to after initialization, and then remove itself from

Throws:

IOException

Method Detail

runReadLoop

public static void runReadLoop(InputStream stream,
                               StreamConnection connection)
                        throws Exception

A blocking call that never returns, except by throwing an exception. It reads bytes from the input stream and feeds them to the provided StreamConnection, for example, a Peer.

Throws:

Exception

closeConnection

public void closeConnection()

Closes the connection to the server, triggering the StreamConnection.connectionClosed() event on the network-handling thread where all callbacks occur.

Specified by:

closeConnection in interface MessageWriteTarget

writeBytes

public void writeBytes(byte[] message)
                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: MessageWriteTarget

Writes the given bytes to the remote server.

Specified by:

writeBytes in interface MessageWriteTarget

Throws:

IOException

getConnectFuture

public ListenableFuture<SocketAddress> getConnectFuture()

Returns a future that completes once connection has occurred at the socket level or with an exception if failed to connect.
