public interface MulticastMessageChannel
extends BoundMultipointMessageChannel

A multicast-capable point-to-multipoint channel. UDP channels are multipoint datagram channels which support multicast registration.

Nested Class Summary

static interface

MulticastMessageChannel.Key A registration key for a multicast group.

Method Summary

ChannelListener.Setter<? extends MulticastMessageChannel>	getCloseSetter() Get the setter which can be used to change the close listener for this channel.
ChannelListener.Setter<? extends MulticastMessageChannel>	getReadSetter() Get the setter which can be used to change the read listener for this channel.
ChannelListener.Setter<? extends MulticastMessageChannel>	getWriteSetter() Get the setter which can be used to change the write listener for this channel.
MulticastMessageChannel.Key	join(InetAddress group, NetworkInterface iface) Join a multicast group to begin receiving all datagrams sent to the group.
MulticastMessageChannel.Key	join(InetAddress group, NetworkInterface iface, InetAddress source) Join a multicast group to begin receiving all datagrams sent to the group from a given source address.

Method Detail

join

MulticastMessageChannel.Key join(InetAddress group,
                                 NetworkInterface iface)
                                 throws IOException

Join a multicast group to begin receiving all datagrams sent to the group. A multicast channel may join several multicast groups, including the same group on more than one interface. An implementation may impose a limit on the number of groups that may be joined at the same time.

Parameters:

group - the multicast address to join

iface - the network interface to join on

Returns:

a new key

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

IllegalStateException - if the channel is already a member of the group on this interface

IllegalArgumentException - if the group parameters is not a multicast address, or is an unsupported address type

SecurityException - if a security manager is set, and its SecurityManager.checkMulticast(InetAddress) method denies access to the group

join

MulticastMessageChannel.Key join(InetAddress group,
                                 NetworkInterface iface,
                                 InetAddress source)
                                 throws IOException

Join a multicast group to begin receiving all datagrams sent to the group from a given source address. A multicast channel may join several multicast groups, including the same group on more than one interface. An implementation may impose a limit on the number of groups that may be joined at the same time.

Parameters:

group - the multicast address to join

iface - the network interface to join on

source - the source address to listen for

Returns:

a new key

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

IllegalStateException - if the channel is already a member of the group on this interface

IllegalArgumentException - if the group parameters is not a multicast address, or is an unsupported address type

SecurityException - if a security manager is set, and its SecurityManager.checkMulticast(InetAddress) method denies access to the group

UnsupportedOperationException - if the implementation does not support source filtering

getReadSetter

ChannelListener.Setter<? extends MulticastMessageChannel> getReadSetter()

Get the setter which can be used to change the read listener for this channel. When the listener is called, additional notifications are automatically suspended.

Returns:

the setter

getCloseSetter

ChannelListener.Setter<? extends MulticastMessageChannel> getCloseSetter()

Get the setter which can be used to change the close listener for this channel. If the channel is already closed, then the listener will not be called.
