Method Details

getConfig

SocketChannelConfig getConfig()

Description copied from interface: Channel

Returns the configuration of this channel.

Specified by:

getConfig in interface Channel

getLocalAddress

InetSocketAddress getLocalAddress()

Description copied from interface: Channel

Returns the local address where this channel is bound to. The returned SocketAddress is supposed to be down-cast into more concrete type such as InetSocketAddress to retrieve the detailed information.

Specified by:

getLocalAddress in interface Channel

Returns:

the local address of this channel. null if this channel is not bound.

getRemoteAddress

InetSocketAddress getRemoteAddress()

Description copied from interface: Channel

Returns the remote address where this channel is connected to. The returned SocketAddress is supposed to be down-cast into more concrete type such as InetSocketAddress to retrieve the detailed information.

Specified by:

getRemoteAddress in interface Channel

Returns:

the remote address of this channel. null if this channel is not connected. If this channel is not connected but it can receive messages from arbitrary remote addresses (e.g. DatagramChannel, use MessageEvent.getRemoteAddress() to determine the origination of the received message as this method will return null.
