Interface ServerSentEventServer.RequestHandler

Enclosing interface:

ServerSentEventServer

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public static interface ServerSentEventServer.RequestHandler

Request/response processing contract for ServerSentEventServer implementations.

This is used internally by Soklet instances to "talk" to a ServerSentEventServer via ServerSentEventServer.initialize(SokletConfig, RequestHandler). It's the responsibility of the ServerSentEventServer to implement HTTP mechanics: read bytes from the request, write bytes to the response, and so forth.

Most Soklet applications will use Soklet's default ServerSentEventServer implementation and therefore do not need to implement this interface directly.

Method Details

handleRequest

void handleRequest(@Nonnull
 Request request,
 @Nonnull
 Consumer<RequestResult> requestResultConsumer)

Callback to be invoked by a ServerSentEventServer implementation after it has received a Server-Sent Event Source HTTP request but prior to writing initial data to the HTTP response.

Note: this method is only invoked during the initial request "handshake" - it is not called for subsequent Server-Sent Event stream writes performed via ServerSentEventBroadcaster.broadcastEvent(ServerSentEvent) invocations.

For example, when a Server-Sent Event Source HTTP request is received, you might immediately write an HTTP 200 OK response if all looks good, or reject with a 401 due to invalid credentials. That is the extent of the request-handling logic performed here. The Server-Sent Event stream then remains open and can be written to via ServerSentEventBroadcaster.broadcastEvent(ServerSentEvent).

The ServerSentEventServer is responsible for converting its internal request representation into a Request, which a Soklet instance consumes and performs Soklet application request processing logic.

The Soklet instance will generate a MarshaledResponse for the request, which it "hands back" to the ServerSentEventServer to be sent over the wire to the client.

Parameters:

request - a Soklet Request representation of the ServerSentEventServer's internal HTTP request data

requestResultConsumer - invoked by Soklet when it's time for the ServerSentEventServer to write HTTP response data to the client
