TCP Connection Events

Beginning with version 3.0, changes to TcpConnection instances are reported by TcpConnectionEvent instances. TcpConnectionEvent is a subclass of ApplicationEvent and can thus be received by any ApplicationListener defined in the ApplicationContext, or an @EventListener method. Also see an event inbound channel adapter.spring-doc.cn

TcpConnectionEvents have the following properties:spring-doc.cn

  • connectionId: The connection identifier, which you can use in a message header to send data to the connection.spring-doc.cn

  • connectionFactoryName: The bean name of the connection factory to which the connection belongs.spring-doc.cn

  • throwable: The Throwable (for TcpConnectionExceptionEvent events only).spring-doc.cn

  • source: The TcpConnection. You can use this, for example, to determine the remote IP Address with getHostAddress() (cast required).spring-doc.cn

Available TcpConnectionEvent s, related to a specific connection include:spring-doc.cn

In addition, since version 4.0, the standard deserializers discussed in TCP Connection Factories now emit TcpDeserializationExceptionEvent instances when they encounter problems while decoding the data stream. These events contain the exception, the buffer that was in the process of being built, and an offset into the buffer (if available) at the point where the exception occurred. Applications can use a normal ApplicationListener, an @EventListener method, or an ApplicationEventListeningMessageProducer (see Receiving Spring Application Events) to capture these events, allowing analysis of the problem.spring-doc.cn

Starting with versions 4.0.7 and 4.1.3, TcpConnectionServerExceptionEvent instances are published whenever an unexpected exception occurs on a server socket (such as a BindException when the server socket is in use). These events have a reference to the connection factory and the cause.spring-doc.cn

Starting with version 4.2, TcpConnectionFailedCorrelationEvent instances are published whenever an endpoint (inbound gateway or collaborating outbound channel adapter) receives a message that cannot be routed to a connection because the ip_connectionId header is invalid. Outbound gateways also publish this event when a late reply is received (the sender thread has timed out). The event contains the connection ID as well as an exception in the cause property, which contains the failed message.spring-doc.cn

Starting with version 4.3, a TcpConnectionServerListeningEvent is emitted when a server connection factory is started. This is useful when the factory is configured to listen on port 0, meaning that the operating system chooses the port. It can also be used instead of polling isListening(), if you need to wait before starting some other process that connects to the socket.spring-doc.cn

To avoid delaying the listening thread from accepting connections, the event is published on a separate thread.

Starting with version 4.3.2, a TcpConnectionFailedEvent is emitted whenever a client connection cannot be created. The source of the event is the connection factory, which you can use to determine the host and port to which the connection could not be established.spring-doc.cn

To use a single ApplicationListener (or @EventListener method) to receive all of these events (including TcpConnectionEvent s), configure the listener to receive IpIntegrationEvent s.spring-doc.cn
