A socket channel is created by invoking one of the {@link #open open} * methods of this class. It is not possible to create a channel for an arbitrary, * pre-existing socket. A newly-created socket channel is open but not yet * connected. An attempt to invoke an I/O operation upon an unconnected * channel will cause a {@link NotYetConnectedException} to be thrown. A * socket channel can be connected by invoking its {@link #connect connect} * method; once connected, a socket channel remains connected until it is * closed. Whether or not a socket channel is connected may be determined by * invoking its {@link #isConnected isConnected} method. * *
Socket channels support non-blocking connection: A socket * channel may be created and the process of establishing the link to the * remote socket may be initiated via the {@link #connect connect} method for * later completion by the {@link #finishConnect finishConnect} method. * Whether or not a connection operation is in progress may be determined by * invoking the {@link #isConnectionPending isConnectionPending} method. * *
Socket channels support asynchronous shutdown, which is similar * to the asynchronous close operation specified in the {@link Channel} class. * If the input side of a socket is shut down by one thread while another * thread is blocked in a read operation on the socket's channel, then the read * operation in the blocked thread will complete without reading any bytes and * will return -1. If the output side of a socket is shut down by one * thread while another thread is blocked in a write operation on the socket's * channel, then the blocked thread will receive an {@link * AsynchronousCloseException}. * *
Socket options are configured using the {@link #setOption(SocketOption,Object) * setOption} method. Socket channels support the following options: *
** Additional (implementation specific) options may also be supported. * **
** *Option Name *Description ** *{@link java.net.StandardSocketOption#SO_SNDBUF SO_SNDBUF} *The size of the socket send buffer ** *{@link java.net.StandardSocketOption#SO_RCVBUF SO_RCVBUF} *The size of the socket receive buffer ** *{@link java.net.StandardSocketOption#SO_KEEPALIVE SO_KEEPALIVE} *Keep connection alive ** *{@link java.net.StandardSocketOption#SO_REUSEADDR SO_REUSEADDR} *Re-use address ** *{@link java.net.StandardSocketOption#SO_LINGER SO_LINGER} *Linger on close if data is present (when configured in blocking mode * only) ** *{@link java.net.StandardSocketOption#TCP_NODELAY TCP_NODELAY} *Disable the Nagle algorithm *
Socket channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. They * support concurrent reading and writing, though at most one thread may be * reading and at most one thread may be writing at any given time. The {@link * #connect connect} and {@link #finishConnect finishConnect} methods are * mutually synchronized against each other, and an attempt to initiate a read * or write operation while an invocation of one of these methods is in * progress will block until that invocation is complete.
