    • shutdownInput

      protected void shutdownInput() throws IOException
      Places the input stream for this socket at "end of stream". Any data sent to this socket is acknowledged and then silently discarded. If you read from a socket input stream after invoking this method on the socket, the stream's available method will return 0, and its read methods will return -1 (end of stream).
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.
      Since:
      1.3
      See Also:

      protected void shutdownOutput() throws IOException
      Disables the output stream for this socket. For a TCP socket, any previously written data will be sent followed by TCP's normal connection termination sequence. If you write to a socket output stream after invoking shutdownOutput() on the socket, the stream will throw an IOException.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.

    • setPerformancePreferences

      protected void setPerformancePreferences(int connectionTime, int latency, int bandwidth)
      Sets performance preferences for this socket.

      Sockets use the TCP/IP protocol by default. Some implementations may offer alternative protocols which have different performance characteristics than TCP/IP. This method allows the application to express its own preferences as to how these tradeoffs should be made when the implementation chooses from the available protocols.

      Performance preferences are described by three integers whose values indicate the relative importance of short connection time, low latency, and high bandwidth. The absolute values of the integers are irrelevant; in order to choose a protocol the values are simply compared, with larger values indicating stronger preferences. Negative values represent a lower priority than positive values. If the application prefers short connection time over both low latency and high bandwidth, for example, then it could invoke this method with the values (1, 0, 0). If the application prefers high bandwidth above low latency, and low latency above short connection time, then it could invoke this method with the values (0, 1, 2). By default, this method does nothing, unless it is overridden in a sub-class.

      Parameters:
      connectionTime - An int expressing the relative importance of a short connection time
      latency - An int expressing the relative importance of low latency
      bandwidth - An int expressing the relative importance of high bandwidth

    • setOption

      protected <T> void setOption(SocketOption<T> name, T value) throws IOException
      Called to set a socket option.
      Implementation Requirements:
      The default implementation of this method first checks that the given socket option name is not null, then throws UnsupportedOperationException. Subclasses should override this method with an appropriate implementation.
      Type Parameters:
      T - The type of the socket option value
      Parameters:
      name - The socket option
      value - The value of the socket option. A value of null may be valid for some options.
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the SocketImpl does not support the option
      IllegalArgumentException - if the value is not valid for the option
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs, or if the socket is closed
      NullPointerException - if name is null
