• close

  boolean close(boolean rightNow)

  Call this method to close the socket.

  Returns:

  true if closed, false if already closed.

• setSubProtocol

  void setSubProtocol(String subProtocol) throws IllegalStateException

  Assigns a sub-protocol for the WebSocket (in case the processing of sub-protocol negotiation is done e.g. outside the WebSocket communication acceptor).

  Throws:

  IllegalStateException - If the state doesn't permit this operation, or if the implementation doesn't allow it.

• getSubProtocol

  String getSubProtocol()

  Gets the negotiated and accepted sub-protocol, null for none (yet), or none is provided by the parties (server or client).

  Returns:

  The String for the sub-protocol negotiated, null for none.

• areBinaryDataFramesSupported

  boolean areBinaryDataFramesSupported()

  Checks if Binary Data Frames are supported.

  Returns:

  true if it is supported, false otherwise.

• send

  void send(byte[] data) throws IOException

  Sends binary data.

  Parameters:

  data - The byte array containing the data.

  Throws:

  IOException - for failures, e.g. socket is closed, not open, not connected.

• send

  void send(String data) throws IOException

  Sends a String of data.

  Parameters:

  data - The String to send.

  Throws:

  String getRemoteHost()

  Returns the fully qualified name of the client or the last proxy that sent the request.

  Returns:

  a String containing the fully qualified name of the client.

  SocketAddress getSocketAddress()

  Returns the remote address to which this channel's socket is connected.

  Object getAttachment()

  Gets the WebSocket attachment object, null for none.

  Returns:
