Method Detail

initialize

void initialize()
         throws EPPConException

Initializes the client connection. The connection will be opened and the input/output streams will be set.

Throws:

EPPConException - On error

initialize

void initialize(java.lang.String aHostName,
                int aPortNumber,
                EPPSSLContext aSSLContext)
         throws EPPConException

Initializes the client connection with a specific host and port. The connection will be opened and the input/output streams will be set.

Parameters:

aHostName - Host name or IP address of host to connect to

aPortNumber - Port number to connect to

aSSLContext - Optional specific SSL context to use

Throws:

EPPConException - On error

initialize

void initialize(java.lang.String aHostName,
                int aPortNumber,
                java.lang.String aClientHostName,
                EPPSSLContext aSSLContext)
         throws EPPConException

Initializes the client connection with a specific host and port. The connection will be opened and the input/output streams will be set.

Parameters:

aHostName - Host name or IP address of host to connect to

aPortNumber - Port number to connect to

aClientHostName - Host name or IP address to connect from

aSSLContext - Optional specific SSL context to use

Throws:

EPPConException - On error

close

void close()
    throws EPPConException

Closes the client connection.

Throws:

EPPConException - On error

getOutputStream

java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
                              throws EPPConException

Gets the output stream associated with the active connection.

Returns:

output stream associated with the active connection

Throws:

EPPConException - Output stream is null, meaning that the connection is not active.

getInputStream

java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                            throws EPPConException

Gets the input stream associated with the active connection.

Returns:

input stream associated with the active connection

Throws:

EPPConException - Input stream is null, meaning that the connection is not active.
