      zeus.actors.Server

All Implemented Interfaces:

InTray, java.lang.Runnable

public class Server

extends java.lang.Thread

implements InTray

This component is part of the MailBox, and is responsible for reading incoming messages. This component operates within its own thread enabling the MailBox to send and receive multiple messages simultaneously.

It is unlikely that developers will need to call these methods directly. Although if the user wants to replace the default TCP/IP messaging mechanism this could be cleanly achieved by reimplementing the methods of this class.

Field Summary

protected Address	address
protected int	connection_count
private AgentContext	context
static int	DEFAULT_PORT_MAX
static int	DEFAULT_PORT_MIN
protected Queue	inMail Data structure holding messages as they are read in
protected java.net.ServerSocket	listenSocket
static int	MAX_CONNECTIONS
static int	MAX_QUEUE_LENGTH
protected MailBox	mbox Reference to MailBox of which this is a sub-component
protected MsgHandler	msgHandler
protected boolean	processing
protected long	timeout timeout was originally private, but subclasses need to use it to construct there own treads of control, so I changed it to protected (ST -14/8/00)
