Enum Constant Detail

• INITIAL

  public static final BufferState INITIAL

  Indicates that the IBuffer has just been provided by its IBufferProvider or that is has been used and subsequently cleared.

  A transition to PUTTING can be triggered by calling IBuffer.startPutting(short) once. If the buffer is intended to be passed to an IChannel later the channel index of that Channel has to be passed because it is part of the buffer's header. A ByteBuffer is returned that can be used for putting data.

  A transition to GETTING can be triggered by calling IBuffer.startGetting(SocketChannel) repeatedly until it finally returns a ByteBuffer that can be used for getting data.

• PUTTING

  public static final BufferState PUTTING

  Indicates that the IBuffer can provide a ByteBuffer that can be used for putting data.

  A transition to WRITING can be triggered by calling IBuffer.write(SocketChannel).

  A transition to GETTING can be triggered by calling IBuffer.flip().

  A transition to INITIAL can be triggered by calling IBuffer.clear().

• WRITING

  public static final BufferState WRITING

  Indicates that the IBuffer is currently writing its data to a SocketChannel.

  Self transitions to WRITING can be triggered by repeatedly calling IBuffer.write(SocketChannel) until it returns true.

  A transition to INITIAL can be triggered by calling IBuffer.clear().

• READING_HEADER

  public static final BufferState READING_HEADER

  Indicates that the IBuffer is currently reading its header from a SocketChannel.

  Transitions to READING_HEADER, READING_BODY or GETTING can be triggered by repeatedly calling IBuffer.startGetting(SocketChannel) until it returns a ByteBuffer that can be used for getting data.

  A transition to INITIAL can be triggered by calling IBuffer.clear().

• READING_BODY

  public static final BufferState READING_BODY

  Indicates that the IBuffer is currently reading its body from a SocketChannel.

  Transitions to READING_BODY or GETTING can be triggered by repeatedly calling IBuffer.startGetting(SocketChannel) until it returns a ByteBuffer that can be used for getting data.

  A transition to INITIAL can be triggered by calling IBuffer.clear().

• GETTING

  public static final BufferState GETTING

  Indicates that the IBuffer can provide a ByteBuffer that can be used for getting data.

  A transition to INITIAL can be triggered by calling IBuffer.clear().

• RELEASED

  public static final BufferState RELEASED

  Indicates that the IBuffer is owned by its IBufferProvider.

  Since:

  3.0

• DISPOSED

  public static final BufferState DISPOSED

  Indicates that the IBuffer can not be used anymore.

  Since:

  3.0

Method Detail

• values

  public static BufferState[] values()

  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

  for (BufferState c : BufferState.values())
      System.out.println(c);
  

  Returns:

  an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

• valueOf

  public static BufferState valueOf(String name)

  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

  Parameters:

  name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

  Returns:

  the enum constant with the specified name

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

  NullPointerException - if the argument is null
