Interface SessionNotifier

All Superinterfaces:

Connection

All Known Implementing Classes:

OBEXSessionNotifierImpl

public interface SessionNotifier
extends Connection

The SessionNotifier interface defines a connection notifier for server-side OBEX connections. When a SessionNotifier is created and calls acceptAndOpen(), it will begin listening for clients to create a connection at the transport layer. When the transport layer connection is received, the acceptAndOpen() method will return a javax.microedition.io.Connection that is the connection to the client. The acceptAndOpen() method also takes a ServerRequestHandler argument that will process the requests from the client that connects to the server.

Method Summary

Connection	acceptAndOpen(ServerRequestHandler handler) Waits for a transport layer connection to be established and specifies the handler to handle the requests from the client.
Connection	acceptAndOpen(ServerRequestHandler handler, Authenticator auth) Waits for a transport layer connection to be established and specifies the handler to handle the requests from the client and the Authenticator to use to respond to authentication challenge and authentication response headers.

Method Detail

acceptAndOpen

Connection acceptAndOpen(ServerRequestHandler handler)
                         throws IOException

Waits for a transport layer connection to be established and specifies the handler to handle the requests from the client. No authenticator is associated with this connection, therefore, it is implementation dependent as to how an authentication challenge and authentication response header will be received and processed.

Additional Note for OBEX over Bluetooth

If this method is called on a SessionNotifier object that does not have a ServiceRecord in the SDDB, the ServiceRecord for this object will be added to the SDDB. This method requests the BCC to put the local device in connectable mode so that it will respond to connection attempts by clients.

The following checks are done to verify that the service record provided is valid. If any of these checks fail, then a ServiceRegistrationException is thrown.

• ServiceClassIDList and ProtocolDescriptorList, the mandatory service attributes for a btgoep service record, must be present in the ServiceRecord associated with this notifier.
• L2CAP, RFCOMM and OBEX must all be in the ProtocolDescriptorList
• The ServiceRecord associated with this notifier must not have changed the RFCOMM server channel number

This method will not ensure that ServiceRecord associated with this notifier is a completely valid service record. It is the responsibility of the application to ensure that the service record follows all of the applicable syntactic and semantic rules for service record correctness.

Note : once an application invokes close() on any L2CAPConnectionNotifier, SessionNotifier, or StreamConnectionNotifer instance, all pending acceptAndOpen() methods that have been invoked previously on that instance MUST throw InterruptedIOException. This mechanism provides an application with the means to cancel any outstanding acceptAndOpen() method calls

Parameters:

handler - the request handler that will respond to OBEX requests

Returns:

the connection to the client

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs in the transport layer

NullPointerException - if handler is null

ServiceRegistrationException - if the structure of the associated service record is invalid or if the service record could not be added successfully to the local SDDB. The structure of service record is invalid if the service record is missing any mandatory service attributes, or has changed any of the values described above which are fixed and cannot be changed. Failures to add the record to the SDDB could be due to insufficient disk space, database locks, etc.

BluetoothStateException - if the server device could not be placed in connectable mode because the device user has configured the device to be non-connectable

acceptAndOpen

Connection acceptAndOpen(ServerRequestHandler handler,
                         Authenticator auth)
                         throws IOException

Waits for a transport layer connection to be established and specifies the handler to handle the requests from the client and the Authenticator to use to respond to authentication challenge and authentication response headers.

Parameters:

auth - the Authenticator to use with this connection; if null then no Authenticator will be used

Returns:

the connection to the client

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs in the transport layer

NullPointerException - if handler is null
