public interface ClientSession
extends Session

This interface represents the client side Bayeux session.

In addition to the common Bayeux session, this interface provides method to configure extension, access channels and to initiate the communication with a Bayeux server(s).

Method Detail

addExtension

void addExtension(ClientSession.Extension extension)

Adds an extension to this session.

Parameters:

extension - the extension to add

See Also:

removeExtension(Extension)

removeExtension

void removeExtension(ClientSession.Extension extension)

Removes an extension from this session.

Parameters:

extension - the extension to remove

See Also:

addExtension(Extension)

getExtensions

java.util.List<ClientSession.Extension> getExtensions()

Returns:

an immutable list of extensions present in this ClientSession instance

See Also:

addExtension(Extension)

handshake

default void handshake()

Equivalent to handshake(null).

handshake

default void handshake(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> template)

Equivalent to handshake(template, null).

Parameters:

template - additional fields to add to the handshake message.

handshake

void handshake(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> template,
               ClientSession.MessageListener callback)

Initiates the bayeux protocol handshake with the server(s).

The handshake initiated by this method is asynchronous and does not wait for the handshake response.

Parameters:

template - additional fields to add to the handshake message.

callback - the message listener to notify of the handshake result

disconnect

default void disconnect()

Description copied from interface: Session

Disconnects this session, ending the link between the client and the server peers.

Specified by:

disconnect in interface Session

See Also:

Session.isConnected()

disconnect

void disconnect(ClientSession.MessageListener callback)

Disconnects this session, ending the link between the client and the server peers.

Parameters:

callback - the message listener to notify of the disconnect result

getChannel

ClientSessionChannel getChannel(java.lang.String channelName)

Returns a client side channel scoped by this session.

The channel name may be for a specific channel (e.g. "/foo/bar") or for a wild channel (e.g. "/meta/**" or "/foo/*").

This method will always return a channel, even if the the channel has not been created on the server side. The server side channel is only involved once a publish or subscribe method is called on the channel returned by this method.

Typical usage examples are:

     clientSession.getChannel("/foo/bar").subscribe(mySubscriptionListener);
     clientSession.getChannel("/foo/bar").publish("Hello");
     clientSession.getChannel("/meta/*").addListener(myMetaChannelListener);
 

Parameters:

channelName - specific or wild channel name.

Returns:

a channel scoped by this session.

remoteCall

void remoteCall(java.lang.String target,
                java.lang.Object data,
                ClientSession.MessageListener callback)

Performs a remote call to the server, to the specified target, and with the given data as payload.

The remote call response will be delivered via the callback parameter.

Typical usage:

 clientSession.remoteCall("getOnlineStatus", userId, new MessageListener()
 {
     @Override
     public void onMessage(Message message)
     {
         if (message.isSuccessful())
         {
             String status = (String)message.getData();
             // Update UI with online status.
         }
         else
         {
             // Remote call failed.
         }
     }
 });
 

Parameters:

target - the remote call target

data - the remote call parameters

callback - the listener that receives the remote call response
