Package org.jcsp.net.tcpip

Class TCPIPNodeFactory

java.lang.Object

org.jcsp.net.tcpip.TCPIPNodeFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, NodeFactory

public class TCPIPNodeFactory
extends Object
implements NodeFactory

Default factory for simple initialisations using the TCPIPv4 protocol package.

Other constructors can be used to specify a particular CNS server. The default behaviour will extract a CNS server from the system property "org.jcsp.tcpip.DefaultCNSServer" with the server specified as a name or IP address with optional port number.

If built with 1.4 or higher the user preferences will also be checked but only if a runtime supporting the preferences is available. If not present the system preferences will then be checked.

Constructor Detail

TCPIPNodeFactory

public TCPIPNodeFactory()

Default constructor, connecting to the local host on the default CNS port or to a host name in the system properties. The host name should be specified as name:port or just the host name to use the default CNS port.

TCPIPNodeFactory

public TCPIPNodeFactory(String cnsServer)

Connect to the named host on the default CNS port. If the server name is given as null then the CNS service will not be loaded.

Parameters:

cnsServer - name of server

TCPIPNodeFactory

public TCPIPNodeFactory(String cnsServerAddress,
                        int cnsServerPort)

Connect to a named host on a specific port.

Parameters:

cnsServerAddress - name of the server

cnsServerPort - port to connect to

Method Detail

instantiate

public static NodeFactory instantiate()

Constructs an instance of this class. This method is provided so that a later implementation can opt to pass construction to an alternative under certain conditions. This is for use by the infrastructure only. Users should call the public constructors.

initNode

public NodeKey initNode(Node node,
                        Node.Attributes attribs)
                 throws NodeInitFailedException

Initialise the node to listen on all local addresses, and start a CNS service.

Specified by:

initNode in interface NodeFactory

Parameters:

node - the node to be initialized

attribs - access to the restricted node attributes

Throws:

NodeInitFailedException - if a problem occurs

setLocalPort

public void setLocalPort(int port)

Sets the port number that should be used. If this is not called then the system will allocate an arbitrary port.

Parameters:

port - the port number, 0 <= port < 65536.

setSecurityAuthority

public void setSecurityAuthority(SecurityService security)

Sets the security service to be used.

Parameters:

security - the new security authority.
