Interface IoConnector

All Superinterfaces:

IoSessionManager, SessionManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

DatagramConnector, SocketConnector

public interface IoConnector
extends IoSessionManager

Connects to endpoint, communicates with the server, and fires events to IoHandlers.

Please refer to NetCat example.

You should connect to the desired socket address to start communication, and then events for incoming connections will be sent to the specified default IoHandler.

Threads connect to endpoint start automatically when connect(SocketAddress, IoHandler) is invoked, and stop when all connection attempts are finished.
