public interface NetworkApplication
extends Runnable

Represents any networking application (for example, a client or server).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	close()	Closes this application, closing all bound and connected sockets and stopping the main loop, causing a call to start() to return.
void	init()	Initializes this application.
default void	run()	Method which implements the Runnable.run() function.
void	start()	Runs the main loop of this instance.

Method Details

init

void init()
   throws IOException

Initializes this application.

Throws:

IOException - If an IO error occurs during initialization

close

void close()
    throws IOException

Closes this application, closing all bound and connected sockets and stopping the main loop, causing a call to start() to return.

Throws:

IOException - If an IO error occurs

start

void start()
    throws IOException

Runs the main loop of this instance. This loop processes incoming or outgoing connection requests and network traffic.

Under normal circumstances, never returns before close() is called. After close() is called, this function should return as soon as possible.

If this method is called before init(), the behavior is undefined.

Throws:

IOException - If a fatal IO error occurs during any networking operation

run

default void run()

Method which implements the Runnable.run() function.

This method is equivalent to start(), except that any IOExceptions thrown are wrapped into an UncheckedIOException. An application using this instance should use start() instead, to properly handle errors.
