Attempts to connect to Union Server at the current host and port. The result of the attempt is reported via ConnectionEvent.READY and ConnectionEvent.CONNECT_FAILURE events.
The connect() method is not normally intended for direct use. Connections to the server should instead be made via the Orbiter or ConnectionManager classes.
Closes the connection to Union Server.
The disconnect() method is not normally intended for direct use. Disconnections from the server should instead be requested via the Orbiter or ConnectionManager classes.
Permanently disables the connection object.
Returns the host on which the connection will be opened or has been opened.
The host name or ip, as a string. For example, "example.com" or "192.168.0.1".
Returns the port on which the connection will be opened or has been opened.
A number from 1 to 65535.
Returns the host that was requested for this connection via setServer. If that host is a load balancing DNS server, the actual host used for the connection (as returned by getHost()) might differ from the requested host.
The requested host name or ip, as a string. For example, "example.com" or "192.168.0.1".
Returns the type of the connection, as one of the types specified by the ConnectionType class.
A string representing the connection type.
Indicates whether this connection is currently in a "ready" state.
Indicates whether this connection is considered valid. Valid connections are those that are currently in a "ready" state, or are currently disconnected but successfully achieved a "ready" state in the most recent connection attempt.
Sends the specified data to Union Server.
The send() method is not intended for direct use. Data should be sent to the server via the Orbiter API. See the MessageManager, Room, RoomManager, Client, ClientManager, and Server classes. To access the raw strings sent via the send() method, register for the ConnectionEvent.SEND_DATA event.
Assigns the Orbiter object for which this IConnection will provide server communication services. This method is invoked automatically by the ConnectionManager when the IConnection object is added to the ConnectionManager's connection list.
A Orbiter instance.
Assigns the host and port to use with the connect() method.
The server address (typically an IP address or domain name).
A port number between 1 and 65536. Note that ports from 1-7 are normally reserved for use by the operating system, and should therefore not be used by Orbiter applications.
Provides a string representation of this object.
IConnection is the interface that all connection classes must implement in order to connect to Union. Connection classes are provided by the Orbiter, and are managed by the ConnectionManager.
To make a new connection to Union server, use Orbiter.connect method or ConnectionManager.connect method.
