Interface Session

All Known Implementing Classes:

EPITerminal

public interface Session

An object that implements the Session interface can be passed to the Terminal send method. The Session handleReply method will be called by the Terminal when an EPI event occurs - for example, when screen data is returned by the server. The Session also determines the type of synchronization used for when Terminal.send is called:

• synchronous - send blocks until the server finishes sending data
• asynchronous - send returns immediately

Field Summary

static int	async Asynchronous EPI calls.
static int	sync Synchronous EPI calls (the default).

Method Summary

int	getSyncType() Gets the type of synchronization to be used for this session.
void	handleReply(TerminalInterface terminal) Implement this method to handle EPI Events.

Field Detail

sync

static final int sync

Synchronous EPI calls (the default).

Method Detail

getSyncType

int getSyncType()

Gets the type of synchronization to be used for this session. Return either sync or async.

Returns:

the synchronization type

handleReply

void handleReply(TerminalInterface terminal)

Implement this method to handle EPI Events.

Parameters:

terminal - the terminal that generated the event
