org.apache.mina.protocol
Interface ProtocolAcceptor

All Superinterfaces:

ProtocolSessionManager, SessionManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

IoProtocolAcceptor, VmPipeAcceptor

public interface ProtocolAcceptor
extends ProtocolSessionManager

Accepts incoming connection, communicates with clients, and fires events to ProtocolHandlers.

Please refer to Reverser example.

You should bind to the desired socket address to accept incoming connections, and then events for incoming connections will be sent to the specified default ProtocolHandler.

Threads accept incoming connections start automatically when bind(SocketAddress, ProtocolProvider) is invoked, and stop when all addresses are unbound.
