Direct Known Subclasses:

ReadTimeoutHandler

public class IdleStateHandler
extends io.netty.channel.ChannelDuplexHandler

Triggers an IdleStateEvent when a Channel has not performed read, write, or both operation for a while.

Supported idle states

Property	Meaning
readerIdleTime	an IdleStateEvent whose state is IdleState.READER_IDLE will be triggered when no read was performed for the specified period of time. Specify 0 to disable.
writerIdleTime	an IdleStateEvent whose state is IdleState.WRITER_IDLE will be triggered when no write was performed for the specified period of time. Specify 0 to disable.
allIdleTime	an IdleStateEvent whose state is IdleState.ALL_IDLE will be triggered when neither read nor write was performed for the specified period of time. Specify 0 to disable.

 // An example that sends a ping message when there is no outbound traffic
 // for 30 seconds.  The connection is closed when there is no inbound traffic
 // for 60 seconds.

 public class MyChannelInitializer extends ChannelInitializer<Channel> {
      @Override
     public void initChannel(Channel channel) {
         channel.pipeline().addLast("idleStateHandler", new IdleStateHandler(60, 30, 0));
         channel.pipeline().addLast("myHandler", new MyHandler());
     }
 }

 // Handler should handle the IdleStateEvent triggered by IdleStateHandler.
 public class MyHandler extends ChannelDuplexHandler {
      @Override
     public void userEventTriggered(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object evt) throws Exception {
         if (evt instanceof IdleStateEvent) {

             if (e.state() == IdleState.READER_IDLE) {
                 ctx.close();
             } else if (e.state() == IdleState.WRITER_IDLE) {

Constructor Detail

IdleStateHandler

public IdleStateHandler(int readerIdleTimeSeconds,
                        int writerIdleTimeSeconds,
                        int allIdleTimeSeconds)

Creates a new instance firing IdleStateEvents.

Parameters:

readerIdleTimeSeconds - an IdleStateEvent whose state is IdleState.READER_IDLE will be triggered when no read was performed for the specified period of time. Specify 0 to disable.

writerIdleTimeSeconds - an IdleStateEvent whose state is IdleState.WRITER_IDLE will be triggered when no write was performed for the specified period of time. Specify 0 to disable.

allIdleTimeSeconds - an IdleStateEvent whose state is IdleState.ALL_IDLE will be triggered when neither read nor write was performed for the specified period of time. Specify 0 to disable.

IdleStateHandler

public IdleStateHandler(long readerIdleTime,
                        long writerIdleTime,
                        long allIdleTime,
                        TimeUnit unit)

IdleStateHandler

public IdleStateHandler(boolean observeOutput,
                        long readerIdleTime,
                        long writerIdleTime,
                        long allIdleTime,
                        TimeUnit unit)

Creates a new instance firing IdleStateEvents.

Parameters:

observeOutput - whether or not the consumption of bytes should be taken into consideration when assessing write idleness. The default is false.

readerIdleTime - an IdleStateEvent whose state is IdleState.READER_IDLE will be triggered when no read was performed for the specified period of time. Specify 0 to disable.

writerIdleTime - an IdleStateEvent whose state is IdleState.WRITER_IDLE will be triggered when no write was performed for the specified period of time. Specify 0 to disable.

allIdleTime - an IdleStateEvent whose state is IdleState.ALL_IDLE will be triggered when neither read nor write was performed for the specified period of time. Specify 0 to disable.

unit - the TimeUnit of readerIdleTime, writeIdleTime, and allIdleTime
