public abstract class SctpServerChannel extends AbstractSelectableChannel
A selectable channel for message-oriented listening SCTP sockets.

An SCTPServerChannel is created by invoking the open method of this class. A newly-created SCTP server channel is open but not yet bound. An attempt to invoke the accept method of an unbound channel will cause the NotYetBoundException to be thrown. An SCTP server channel can be bound by invoking one of the bind methods defined by this class.

Socket options are configured using the setOption method. SCTP server socket channels support the following options:

Socket options
Option Name Description
SCTP_INIT_MAXSTREAMS The maximum number of streams requested by the local endpoint during association initialization
Additional (implementation specific) options may also be supported. The list of options supported is obtained by invoking the supportedOptions method.

SCTP server channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.

  • Constructor Details

    • SctpServerChannel

      protected SctpServerChannel(SelectorProvider provider)
      Initializes a new instance of this class.
      Parameters:
      provider - The selector provider for this channel

  • Method Details

    • open

      public static SctpServerChannel open() throws IOException
      Opens an SCTP server channel.

      The new channel's socket is initially unbound; it must be bound to a specific address via one of its socket's bind methods before associations can be accepted.

      Returns:
      A new SCTP server channel
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - If the SCTP protocol is not supported
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs

    • accept

      public abstract SctpChannel accept() throws IOException
      Accepts an association on this channel's socket.

      If this channel is in non-blocking mode then this method will immediately return null if there are no pending associations. Otherwise it will block indefinitely until a new association is available or an I/O error occurs.

      The SCTPChannel returned by this method, if any, will be in blocking mode regardless of the blocking mode of this channel.

      If a security manager has been installed then for each new association this method verifies that the address and port number of the assocaitions's remote peer are permitted by the security manager's checkAccept method.

      Returns:
      The SCTP channel for the new association, or null if this channel is in non-blocking mode and no association is available to be accepted
      Throws:
      ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
      AsynchronousCloseException - If another thread closes this channel while the accept operation is in progress
      ClosedByInterruptException - If another thread interrupts the current thread while the accept operation is in progress, thereby closing the channel and setting the current thread's interrupt status
      NotYetBoundException - If this channel's socket has not yet been bound
      SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit access to the remote peer of the new association
      IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

    • bind

      public final SctpServerChannel bind(SocketAddress local) throws IOException
      Binds the channel's socket to a local address and configures the socket to listen for associations.

      This method works as if invoking it were equivalent to evaluating the expression: 

       bind(local, 0);
      Parameters:
      local - The local address to bind the socket, or null to bind the socket to an automatically assigned socket address
      Returns:
      This channel
      Throws:
      ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
      AlreadyBoundException - If this channel is already bound
      UnsupportedAddressTypeException - If the type of the given address is not supported
      SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and its checkListen method denies the operation
      IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

    • bind

      public abstract SctpServerChannel bind(SocketAddress local, int backlog) throws IOException
      Binds the channel's socket to a local address and configures the socket to listen for associations.

      This method is used to establish a relationship between the socket and the local address. Once a relationship is established then the socket remains bound until the channel is closed. This relationship may not necesssarily be with the address local as it may be removed by unbindAddress, but there will always be at least one local address bound to the channel's socket once an invocation of this method successfully completes.

      Once the channel's socket has been successfully bound to a specific address, that is not automatically assigned, more addresses may be bound to it using bindAddress, or removed using unbindAddress.

      The backlog parameter is the maximum number of pending associations on the socket. Its exact semantics are implementation specific. An implementation may impose an implementation specific maximum length or may choose to ignore the parameter. If the backlog parameter has the value 0, or a negative value, then an implementation specific default is used.

      Parameters:
      local - The local address to bind the socket, or null to bind the socket to an automatically assigned socket address
      backlog - The maximum number of pending associations
      Returns:
      This channel
      Throws:
      ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
      AlreadyBoundException - If this channel is already bound
      UnsupportedAddressTypeException - If the type of the given address is not supported
      SecurityException - If a security manager has been installed and its checkListen method denies the operation
      IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

    • bindAddress

      public abstract SctpServerChannel bindAddress(InetAddress address) throws IOException
      Adds the given address to the bound addresses for the channel's socket.

      The given address must not be the wildcard address. The channel must be first bound using bind before invoking this method, otherwise NotYetBoundException is thrown. The bind method takes a SocketAddress as its argument which typically contains a port number as well as an address. Addresses subquently bound using this method are simply addresses as the SCTP port number remains the same for the lifetime of the channel.

      New associations accepted after this method successfully completes will be associated with the given address.

      Parameters:
      address - The address to add to the bound addresses for the socket
      Returns:
      This channel
      Throws:
      ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
      NotYetBoundException - If this channel is not yet bound
      AlreadyBoundException - If this channel is already bound to the given address
      IllegalArgumentException - If address is null or the wildcard address
      IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

    • unbindAddress

      public abstract SctpServerChannel unbindAddress(InetAddress address) throws IOException
      Removes the given address from the bound addresses for the channel's socket.

      The given address must not be the wildcard address. The channel must be first bound using bind before invoking this method, otherwise NotYetBoundException is thrown. If this method is invoked on a channel that does not have address as one of its bound addresses, or that has only one local address bound to it, then this method throws IllegalUnbindException. The initial address that the channel's socket is bound to using bind may be removed from the bound addresses for the channel's socket.

      New associations accepted after this method successfully completes will not be associated with the given address.

      Parameters:
      address - The address to remove from the bound addresses for the socket
      Returns:
      This channel
      Throws:
      ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
      NotYetBoundException - If this channel is not yet bound
      IllegalArgumentException - If address is null or the wildcard address
      IllegalUnbindException - If the implementation does not support removing addresses from a listening socket, address is not bound to the channel's socket, or the channel has only one address bound to it
      IOException - If some other I/O error occurs

    • getAllLocalAddresses

      public abstract Set<SocketAddress> getAllLocalAddresses() throws IOException
      Returns all of the socket addresses to which this channel's socket is bound.
      Returns:
      All the socket addresses that this channel's socket is bound to, or an empty Set if the channel's socket is not bound
      Throws:
      ClosedChannelException - If the channel is closed
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs

    • getOption

      public abstract <T> T getOption(SctpSocketOption<T> name) throws IOException
      Returns the value of a socket option.
      Type Parameters:
      T - The type of the socket option value
      Parameters:
      name - The socket option
      Returns:
      The value of the socket option. A value of null may be a valid value for some socket options.
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - If the socket option is not supported by this channel
      ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs
      See Also:

    • setOption

      public abstract <T> SctpServerChannel setOption(SctpSocketOption<T> name, T value) throws IOException
      Sets the value of a socket option.
      Type Parameters:
      T - The type of the socket option value
      Parameters:
      name - The socket option
      value - The value of the socket option. A value of null may be a valid value for some socket options.
      Returns:
      This channel
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - If the socket option is not supported by this channel
      IllegalArgumentException - If the value is not a valid value for this socket option
      ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs
      See Also:

    • supportedOptions

      public abstract Set<SctpSocketOption<?>> supportedOptions()
      Returns a set of the socket options supported by this channel.

      This method will continue to return the set of options even after the channel has been closed.

      Returns:
      A set of the socket options supported by this channel

    • validOps

      public final int validOps()
      Returns an operation set identifying this channel's supported operations.

      SCTP server channels only support the accepting of new associations, so this method returns SelectionKey.OP_ACCEPT.

      Specified by:
      validOps in class SelectableChannel
      Returns:
      The valid-operation set
