public class SocketGroovyMethods
extends DefaultGroovyMethodsSupport

This class defines new groovy methods for Sockets which enhance JDK classes inside the Groovy environment.

NOTE: While this class contains many 'public' static methods, it is primarily regarded as an internal class (its internal package name suggests this also). We value backwards compatibility of these methods when used within Groovy but value less backwards compatibility at the Java method call level. I.e. future versions of Groovy may remove or move a method call in this file but would normally aim to keep the method available from within Groovy.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static Socket	accept(ServerSocket serverSocket, boolean runInANewThread, Closure closure)	Accepts a connection and passes the resulting Socket to the closure which runs in a new Thread or the calling thread, as needed.
static Socket	accept(ServerSocket serverSocket, Closure closure)	Accepts a connection and passes the resulting Socket to the closure which runs in a new Thread.
static OutputStream	leftShift(Socket self, byte[] value)	Overloads the left shift operator to provide an append mechanism to add bytes to the output stream of a socket
static Writer	leftShift(Socket self, Object value)	Overloads the left shift operator to provide an append mechanism to add things to the output stream of a socket
static <T> T	withObjectStreams(Socket socket, Closure<T> closure)	Creates an InputObjectStream and an OutputObjectStream from a Socket, and passes them to the closure.
static <T> T	withStreams(Socket socket, Closure<T> closure)	Passes the Socket's InputStream and OutputStream to the closure.

Method Details

withStreams

public static <T> T withStreams(Socket socket, Closure<T> closure) throws IOException

Passes the Socket's InputStream and OutputStream to the closure. The streams will be closed after the closure returns, even if an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

socket - a Socket

closure - a Closure

Returns:

the value returned by the closure

Throws:

IOException - if an IOException occurs.

Since:

1.5.2

withObjectStreams

public static <T> T withObjectStreams(Socket socket, Closure<T> closure) throws IOException

Creates an InputObjectStream and an OutputObjectStream from a Socket, and passes them to the closure. The streams will be closed after the closure returns, even if an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

socket - this Socket

closure - a Closure

Returns:

the value returned by the closure

Throws:

IOException - if an IOException occurs.

Since:

1.5.0

leftShift

public static Writer leftShift(Socket self, Object value) throws IOException

Overloads the left shift operator to provide an append mechanism to add things to the output stream of a socket

Parameters:

self - a Socket

value - a value to append

Returns:

a Writer

Throws:

IOException - if an IOException occurs.

Since:

1.0

leftShift

public static OutputStream leftShift(Socket self, byte[] value) throws IOException

Overloads the left shift operator to provide an append mechanism to add bytes to the output stream of a socket

Parameters:

self - a Socket

value - a value to append

Returns:

an OutputStream

Throws:

IOException - if an IOException occurs.

Since:

1.0

accept

public static Socket accept(ServerSocket serverSocket, Closure closure) throws IOException

Accepts a connection and passes the resulting Socket to the closure which runs in a new Thread.

Parameters:

serverSocket - a ServerSocket

closure - a Closure

Returns:

a Socket

Throws:

IOException - if an IOException occurs.

Since:

1.0

ServerSocket.accept()

accept

public static Socket accept(ServerSocket serverSocket, boolean runInANewThread, Closure closure) throws IOException

Accepts a connection and passes the resulting Socket to the closure which runs in a new Thread or the calling thread, as needed.

Parameters:

serverSocket - a ServerSocket

runInANewThread - This flag should be true, if the closure should be invoked in a new thread, else false.

closure - a Closure

Returns:

a Socket

Throws:

IOException - if an IOException occurs.

Since:

1.7.6
