Detailed Description

template<class HANDLER>
class ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >

This class is an example of the Acceptor Pattern. This class will accept new connections and create new HANDLER to handle the new connections.

Unlike the <ACE_Acceptor>, however, this class is designed to be used asynchronously.

Member Function Documentation

template<class HANDLER> int ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::accept (  size_t    bytes_to_read = 0, const void *    act = 0 )  [virtual]

This initiates a new asynchronous accept operation. You need only call this method if the reissue_accept argument passed to open() was 0.

template<class HANDLER> size_t ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::address_size (  void    )  [static]

This is required by the AcceptEx call.

template<class HANDLER> ACE_Asynch_Accept & ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::asynch_accept (  void    )  [protected]

Return the asynch accept object.

template<class HANDLER> void ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::bytes_to_read (  size_t    new_value )  [virtual]

Set bytes to be read with the <accept> call.

template<class HANDLER> size_t ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::bytes_to_read (  void    )  const [virtual]

Get bytes to be read with the <accept> call.

template<class HANDLER> int ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::cancel (  void    )  [virtual]

Cancels all pending accepts operations issued by this object. Note: On Windows, only accept operations initiated by the calling thread are canceled.

template<class HANDLER> ACE_HANDLE ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::get_handle (  void    )  const [virtual]

Get the underlying handle.

template<class HANDLER> void ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::handle (  ACE_HANDLE    h )  [protected, virtual]

Set the listen handle. Reimplemented from ACE_Handler.

template<class HANDLER> ACE_HANDLE ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::handle (  void    )  const [protected, virtual]

Return the listen handle. Reimplemented from ACE_Handler.

template<class HANDLER> void ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::handle_accept (  const ACE_Asynch_Accept::Result &    result )  [protected, virtual]

This is called when an outstanding accept completes. Reimplemented from ACE_Handler.

template<class HANDLER> HANDLER * ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::make_handler (  void    )  [protected, virtual]

This is the template method used to create new handler. Subclasses must overwrite this method if a new handler creation strategy is required.

template<class HANDLER> int ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::open (  const ACE_INET_Addr &    address, size_t    bytes_to_read = 0, int    pass_addresses = 0, int    backlog = ACE_DEFAULT_BACKLOG, int    reuse_addr = 1, ACE_Proactor *    proactor = 0, int    validate_new_connection = 0, int    reissue_accept = 1, int    number_of_initial_accepts = -1 )  [virtual]

open starts one or more asynchronous accept requests on a address. Each accept operation may optionally read an initial buffer from the new connection when accepted. Parameters: address  The address to listen/accept connections on. If the address does not specify a port, a random port is selected and bound. bytes_to_read  Optional, specifies the maximum number of bytes to read with the accept. The buffer for the initial data is allocated internally and passed to the ACE_Service_Handler::open() hook method. It is legitimate only during the open() method and must be copied if required after open() returns. This pre-read function works only on Windows. pass_addresses  Optional, a non-zero value indicates that the local and peer addresses should be passed to the associated ACE_Service_Handler::addresses() method after any call to validate_new_connection() and prior to the open() hook method call. backlog  Optional, defaulting to ACE_DEFAULT_BACKLOG (which can be adjusted in your platform's config.h file). Specifies the listening backlog for the listening socket. reuse_addr  Optional, indicates whether the SO_REUSEADDR option is set on the listening socket or not. proactor  Optional, pointer to the ACE_Proactor to use for demultiplexing asynchronous accepts. If 0, the process's singleton ACE_Proactor is used. validate_new_connection  Optional, if non-zero, this object's validate_connection() method is called after the accept completes, but before the service handler's open() hook method is called. If validate_connection() returns -1, the newly-accepted socket is immediately closed, and the addresses() method is not called. reissue_accept  Optional, if non-zero (the default), a new asynchronous accept operation is started after each completion, whether the completion is for success or failure, and whether or not a successfully-accepted connection is subsequently refused. number_of_initial_accepts  Optional, the number of asynchronous accepts that are started immediately. If -1 (the default), the value of backlog is used. Note: On Windows, the peer address is only available at the time the connection is accepted. Therefore, if you require the peer address on Windows, do not rely on the ACE_SOCK::get_remote_addr() method - it won't work. You must supply a non-zero value for pass_addresses and obtain the peer address in the ACE_Service_Handler::addresses() method. See also: ACE_INET_Addr , ACE_Service_Handler

template<class HANDLER> void ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::parse_address (  const ACE_Asynch_Accept::Result &    result, ACE_INET_Addr &    remote_address, ACE_INET_Addr &    local_address )  [protected]

This parses the address from read buffer.

template<class HANDLER> void ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::pass_addresses (  int    new_value )  [virtual]

Set flag that indicates if parsing and passing of addresses to the service_handler is necessary.

template<class HANDLER> int ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::pass_addresses (  void    )  const [virtual]

Get flag that indicates if parsing and passing of addresses to the service_handler is necessary.

template<class HANDLER> void ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::reissue_accept (  int    new_value )  [virtual]

Set flag that indicates if a new accept should be reissued when a accept completes.

template<class HANDLER> int ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::reissue_accept (  void    )  const [virtual]

Get flag that indicates if a new accept should be reissued when a accept completes.

template<class HANDLER> void ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::set_handle (  ACE_HANDLE    handle )  [virtual]

Set the underlying listen handle. It is the user's responsibility to make sure that the old listen handle has been appropriately closed and the all outstanding asynchronous operations have either completed or have been canceled on the old listen handle.

template<class HANDLER> int ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::should_reissue_accept (  void    )  [virtual]

Template method for deciding whether to reissue accept. This hook method is called after each accept completes to decide if another accept should be initiated. If the method returns a non-zero value, another accept is initiated. The default implemenation always returns the value passed as the open() method's reissue_accept argument. That value can also be changed using the reissue_accept() method.

template<class HANDLER> int ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::validate_connection (  const ACE_Asynch_Accept::Result &    result, const ACE_INET_Addr &    remote, const ACE_INET_Addr &    local )  [virtual]

Template method to validate peer before service is opened. This method is called after a new connection is accepted if the validate_connection argument to open() was non-zero or the validate_new_connection() method is called to turn this feature on. The default implementation returns 0. Users can reimplement this method to perform validation of the peer using it's address, running an authentication procedure (such as SSL) or anything else necessary or desireable. The return value from this method determines whether or not ACE will continue opening the service or abort the connection. Parameters: result  Result of the connection acceptance. remote  Peer's address. local  Local address connection was accepted at. Return values: -1  ACE_Asynch_Acceptor will close the connection, and the service will not be opened. 0  Service opening will proceeed.

template<class HANDLER> void ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::validate_new_connection (  int    new_value )  [virtual]

Set flag that indicates if address validation is required.

template<class HANDLER> int ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::validate_new_connection (  void    )  const [virtual]

Get flag that indicates if address validation is required.

template<class HANDLER> int ACE_Asynch_Acceptor< HANDLER >::validate_new_connection (  const ACE_INET_Addr &    remote_address )  [virtual]

Deprecated: Use validate_connection() instead. Will be removed after ACE 5.3. Template method for address validation. This hook method is called after a connection is accepted if so specified on the call to the open() method. If this method returns -1, the connection is immediately closed and the service handler is not opened. The default implemenation always return 0.
