Detailed Description

A class for handling multiple client request simultaneously in a server.

ClientHandlers run concurrently in different threads and handle the requests using a specified protocol. All the methods in this class are MT-safe.

Public Methods
	ClientHandler (Protocol *p, int max=-1, int detachState=PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE) throw (TooManyInstancesException&, MutexException&)
	Construct a new client handler.
	ClientHandler (int max, Protocol *p=NULL, int detachState=PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE) throw (TooManyInstancesException&, MutexException&)
	ClientHandler (Protocol &p, int max=-1, int detachState=PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE) throw (TooManyInstancesException&, MutexException&)
	ClientHandler (int max, Protocol &p, int detachState=PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE) throw (TooManyInstancesException&, MutexException&)
virtual	~ClientHandler ()
	Destroy a ClientHandler.
void	setProtocol (Protocol *p)
	Set the protocol used by this client handler.
void	setProtocol (Protocol &p)
	Set the protocol used by this client handler.
Protocol *	getProtocol (void)
	Get the protocol used by this client handler.
void	run (void)
Static Public Methods
int	getInstanceCount (void)
	Get the current number of ClientHandler instances.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

net::ClientHandler::ClientHandler (  Protocol *    p, int    max = -1, int    detachState = PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE )  throw (TooManyInstancesException&, MutexException&)

Construct a new client handler. Use the given protocol to handle requests. Note that if a protocol is stateless, it can be shared between multiple clients. Parameters: p  the protocol to be used max  the maximum number of ClientHandler instances. "-1" means no limits. Exceptions: TooManyInstancesException  & if the maximum number of instances would be exceeded. MutexException  & if the instance count mutex cannot be acquired. This should never happen.

net::ClientHandler::~ClientHandler (    )  [virtual]

Destroy a ClientHandler. Exceptions: MutexException  & if the instance count mutex cannot be acquired. This should never happen.

Member Function Documentation

int net::ClientHandler::getInstanceCount (  void    )  [inline, static]

Get the current number of ClientHandler instances. This may help in limiting the number of allowed concurrent connections. Returns: the current number of ClientHandler instances

void net::ClientHandler::setProtocol (  Protocol &    p )

Set the protocol used by this client handler. The memory referenced by p is not automatically released.

void net::ClientHandler::setProtocol (  Protocol *    p )

Set the protocol used by this client handler. The memory pointed by p is automatically released.
