Method Detail

marshal

public static DatagramPacket[] marshal(int responsePort,
                                       String[] groups,
                                       ServiceID[] heard)
                                throws IOException

Deprecated.

Using the default maximum packet size, marshal a multicast request into one or more datagram packets. These packets are guaranteed to contain, between them, all of the groups in which the requestor is interested. However, the set of ServiceIDs from which the requestor has heard may be incomplete.

The datagram packets returned will have been initialized for sending to the appropriate multicast address and UDP port.

Parameters:

responsePort - the port to which respondents should connect in order to start unicast discovery

groups - the set of groups in which the requestor is interested

heard - the set of ServiceIDs from which the requestor has already heard

Returns:

an array of datagram packets, which will always contain at least one member

Throws:

IOException - an error occurred during marshalling.

IllegalArgumentException - when the number and length of the group names to marshal, relative to the value of the default packet size maximum, is too large.

marshal

public static DatagramPacket[] marshal(int responsePort,
                                       String[] groups,
                                       ServiceID[] heard,
                                       int maxPacketSize)
                                throws IOException

Deprecated.

Using the given maximum packet size, marshal a multicast request into one or more datagram packets. These packets are guaranteed to contain, between them, all of the groups in which the requestor is interested. However, the set of ServiceIDs from which the requestor has heard may be incomplete.

The datagram packets returned will have been initialized for sending to the appropriate multicast address and UDP port.

Parameters:

responsePort - the port to which respondents should connect in order to start unicast discovery

groups - the set of groups in which the requestor is interested

heard - the set of ServiceIDs from which the requestor has already heard

maxPacketSize - the maximum size to allow for an outgoing packet

Returns:

an array of datagram packets, which will always contains at least one member

Throws:

IOException - an error occurred during marshalling

IllegalArgumentException - when the value of the maxPacketSize argument is less than the default packet size maximum; or when the number and length of the group names to marshal, relative to the value of the maxPacketSize argument, is too large.
