Package com.lightstreamer.client

Class LightstreamerClient

java.lang.Object

com.lightstreamer.client.LightstreamerClient

public class LightstreamerClient
extends Object

Facade class for the management of the communication to Lightstreamer Server. Used to provide configuration settings, event handlers, operations for the control of the connection lifecycle, Subscription handling and to send messages.
It also provides support for mobile push notifications (MPN) via MpnSubscription, a specific kind of subscription that routes real-time updates via push notifications.
An instance of LightstreamerClient handles the communication with Lightstreamer Server on a specified endpoint. Hence, it hosts one "Session"; or, more precisely, a sequence of Sessions, since any Session may fail and be recovered, or it can be interrupted on purpose. So, normally, a single instance of LightstreamerClient is needed.
However, multiple instances of LightstreamerClient can be used, toward the same or multiple endpoints.

You can listen to the events generated by a session by registering an event listener, such as ClientListener or SubscriptionListener. These listeners allow you to handle various events, such as session creation, connection status, subscription updates, and server messages. However, you should be aware that the event notifications are dispatched by a single thread, the so-called event thread. This means that if the operations of a listener are slow or blocking, they will delay the processing of the other listeners and affect the performance of your application. Therefore, you should delegate any slow or blocking operations to a dedicated thread, and keep the listener methods as fast and simple as possible. Note that even if you create multiple instances of LightstreamerClient, they will all use a single event thread, that is shared among them.

It is possible not to specify it at all or to specify it later by using null here. See ConnectionDetails.setAdapterSet(String) for details.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a not valid address is passed. See ConnectionDetails.setServerAddress(String) for details.

Method Details

setLoggerProvider

public static void setLoggerProvider(@Nullable
 LoggerProvider provider)

If no logging system is specified, all the generated log is discarded.
The following categories are available to be consumed:

• lightstreamer.stream:
  logs socket activity on Lightstreamer Server connections;
  at INFO level, socket operations are logged;
  at DEBUG level, read/write data exchange is logged.
• lightstreamer.protocol:
  logs requests to Lightstreamer Server and Server answers;
  at INFO level, requests are logged;
  at DEBUG level, request details and events from the Server are logged.
• lightstreamer.session:
  logs Server Session lifecycle events;
  at INFO level, lifecycle events are logged;
  at DEBUG level, lifecycle event details are logged.
• lightstreamer.subscriptions:
  logs subscription requests received by the clients and the related updates;
  at WARN level, alert events from the Server are logged;
  at INFO level, subscriptions and unsubscriptions are logged;
  at DEBUG level, requests batching and update details are logged.
• lightstreamer.actions:
  logs settings / API calls.

Parameters:

provider - A LoggerProvider instance that will be used to generate log messages by the library classes.

addListener

public void addListener(@Nonnull
 ClientListener listener)

Adds a listener that will receive events from the LightstreamerClient instance.
The same listener can be added to several different LightstreamerClient instances.

Parameters:

listener - An object that will receive the events as documented in the ClientListener interface.

See Also:

• removeListener(ClientListener)

Lifecycle:

A listener can be added at any time. A call to add a listener already present will be ignored.

removeListener

public void removeListener(@Nonnull
 ClientListener listener)

Removes a listener from the LightstreamerClient instance so that it will not receive events anymore.

Parameters:

listener - The listener to be removed.

See Also:

• addListener(ClientListener)

Lifecycle:

a listener can be removed at any time.

getListeners

@Nonnull
public List<ClientListener> getListeners()

Returns a list containing the ClientListener instances that were added to this client.

Returns:

a list containing the listeners that were added to this client.

See Also:

• addListener(ClientListener)

connect

public void connect()

Operation method that requests to open a Session against the configured Lightstreamer Server.
When connect() is called, unless a single transport was forced through ConnectionOptions.setForcedTransport(String), the so called "Stream-Sense" mechanism is started: if the client does not receive any answer for some seconds from the streaming connection, then it will automatically open a polling connection.
A polling connection may also be opened if the environment is not suitable for a streaming connection.
Note that as "polling connection" we mean a loop of polling requests, each of which requires opening a synchronous (i.e. not streaming) connection to Lightstreamer Server.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if no server address was configured.

See Also:

• getStatus()
• disconnect()
• ClientListener.onStatusChange(String)
• ConnectionDetails.setServerAddress(String)

Lifecycle:

Note that the request to connect is accomplished by the client in a separate thread; this means that an invocation to getStatus() right after connect() might not reflect the change yet.
When the request to connect is finally being executed, if the current status of the client is not DISCONNECTED, then nothing will be done.

disconnect

public void disconnect()

Operation method that requests to close the Session opened against the configured Lightstreamer Server (if any).
When disconnect() is called, the "Stream-Sense" mechanism is stopped.
Note that active Subscription instances, associated with this LightstreamerClient instance, are preserved to be re-subscribed to on future Sessions.

See Also:

• connect()

Lifecycle:

Note that the request to disconnect is accomplished by the client in a separate thread; this means that an invocation to getStatus() right after disconnect() might not reflect the change yet.
When the request to disconnect is finally being executed, if the status of the client is "DISCONNECTED", then nothing will be done.

getStatus

@Nonnull
public String getStatus()

Inquiry method that gets the current client status and transport (when applicable).

Returns:

The current client status. It can be one of the following values:

• "CONNECTING" the client is waiting for a Server's response in order to establish a connection;
• "CONNECTED:STREAM-SENSING" the client has received a preliminary response from the server and is currently verifying if a streaming connection is possible;
• "CONNECTED:WS-STREAMING" a streaming connection over WebSocket is active;
• "CONNECTED:HTTP-STREAMING" a streaming connection over HTTP is active;
• "CONNECTED:WS-POLLING" a polling connection over WebSocket is in progress;
• "CONNECTED:HTTP-POLLING" a polling connection over HTTP is in progress;
• "STALLED" the Server has not been sending data on an active streaming connection for longer than a configured time;
• "DISCONNECTED:WILL-RETRY" no connection is currently active but one will be opened (possibly after a timeout);
• "DISCONNECTED:TRYING-RECOVERY" no connection is currently active, but one will be opened as soon as possible, as an attempt to recover the current session after a connection issue;
• "DISCONNECTED" no connection is currently active.

See Also:

• ClientListener.onStatusChange(String)

subscribe

public void subscribe(@Nonnull
 Subscription subscription)

Operation method that adds a Subscription to the list of "active" Subscriptions. The Subscription cannot already be in the "active" state.
Active subscriptions are subscribed to through the server as soon as possible (i.e. as soon as there is a session available). Active Subscription are automatically persisted across different sessions as long as a related unsubscribe call is not issued.

Parameters:

subscription - A Subscription object, carrying all the information needed to process real-time values.

See Also:

• unsubscribe(Subscription)

Lifecycle:

Subscriptions can be given to the LightstreamerClient at any time. Once done the Subscription immediately enters the "active" state.
Once "active", a Subscription instance cannot be provided again to a LightstreamerClient unless it is first removed from the "active" state through a call to unsubscribe(Subscription).
Also note that forwarding of the subscription to the server is made in a separate thread.
A successful subscription to the server will be notified through a SubscriptionListener.onSubscription() event.

unsubscribe

public void unsubscribe(@Nonnull
 Subscription subscription)

Operation method that removes a Subscription that is currently in the "active" state.
By bringing back a Subscription to the "inactive" state, the unsubscription from all its items is requested to Lightstreamer Server.

Parameters:

subscription - An "active" Subscription object that was activated by this LightstreamerClient instance.

Lifecycle:

Subscription can be unsubscribed from at any time. Once done the Subscription immediately exits the "active" state.
Note that forwarding of the unsubscription to the server is made in a separate thread.
The unsubscription will be notified through a SubscriptionListener.onUnsubscription() event.

getSubscriptions

@Nonnull
public List<Subscription> getSubscriptions()

Inquiry method that returns a list containing all the Subscription instances that are currently "active" on this LightstreamerClient.
Internal second-level Subscription are not included.

Returns:

A list, containing all the Subscription currently "active" on this LightstreamerClient.
The list can be empty.

See Also:

• subscribe(Subscription)

sendMessage

public void sendMessage(@Nonnull
 String message)

A simplified version of the sendMessage(String,String,int,ClientMessageListener,boolean). The internal implementation will call sendMessage(message,null,-1,null,false); Note that this invocation involves no sequence and no listener, hence an optimized fire-and-forget behavior will be applied.

Parameters:

message - a text message, whose interpretation is entirely demanded to the Metadata Adapter associated to the current connection.

sendMessage

public void sendMessage(@Nonnull
 String message,
 @Nullable
 String sequence,
 int delayTimeout,
 @Nullable
 ClientMessageListener listener,
 boolean enqueueWhileDisconnected)

Operation method that sends a message to the Server. The message is interpreted and handled by the Metadata Adapter associated to the current Session. This operation supports in-order guaranteed message delivery with automatic batching. In other words, messages are guaranteed to arrive exactly once and respecting the original order, whatever is the underlying transport (HTTP or WebSockets). Furthermore, high frequency messages are automatically batched, if necessary, to reduce network round trips.
Upon subsequent calls to the method, the sequential management of the involved messages is guaranteed. The ordering is determined by the order in which the calls to sendMessage are issued.
If a message, for any reason, doesn't reach the Server (this is possible with the HTTP transport), it will be resent; however, this may cause the subsequent messages to be delayed. For this reason, each message can specify a "delayTimeout", which is the longest time the message, after reaching the Server, can be kept waiting if one of more preceding messages haven't been received yet. If the "delayTimeout" expires, these preceding messages will be discarded; any discarded message will be notified to the listener through ClientMessageListener.onDiscarded(String). Note that, because of the parallel transport of the messages, if a zero or very low timeout is set for a message and the previous message was sent immediately before, it is possible that the latter gets discarded even if no communication issues occur. The Server may also enforce its own timeout on missing messages, to prevent keeping the subsequent messages for long time.
Sequence identifiers can also be associated with the messages. In this case, the sequential management is restricted to all subsets of messages with the same sequence identifier associated.
Notifications of the operation outcome can be received by supplying a suitable listener. The supplied listener is guaranteed to be eventually invoked; listeners associated with a sequence are guaranteed to be invoked sequentially.
The "UNORDERED_MESSAGES" sequence name has a special meaning. For such a sequence, immediate processing is guaranteed, while strict ordering and even sequentialization of the processing is not enforced. Likewise, strict ordering of the notifications is not enforced. However, messages that, for any reason, should fail to reach the Server whereas subsequent messages had succeeded, might still be discarded after a server-side timeout, in order to ensure that the listener eventually gets a notification.
Moreover, if "UNORDERED_MESSAGES" is used and no listener is supplied, a "fire and forget" scenario is assumed. In this case, no checks on missing, duplicated or overtaken messages are performed at all, so as to optimize the processing and allow the highest possible throughput.

Parameters:

message - a text message, whose interpretation is entirely demanded to the Metadata Adapter associated to the current connection.

sequence - an alphanumeric identifier, used to identify a subset of messages to be managed in sequence; underscore characters are also allowed. If the "UNORDERED_MESSAGES" identifier is supplied, the message will be processed in the special way described above. The parameter is optional; if set to null, "UNORDERED_MESSAGES" is used as the sequence name.

delayTimeout - a timeout, expressed in milliseconds. If higher than the Server configured timeout on missing messages, the latter will be used instead.
The parameter is optional; if a negative value is supplied, the Server configured timeout on missing messages will be applied.
This timeout is ignored for the special "UNORDERED_MESSAGES" sequence, although a server-side timeout on missing messages still applies.

listener - an object suitable for receiving notifications about the processing outcome. The parameter is optional; if not supplied, no notification will be available.

enqueueWhileDisconnected - if this flag is set to true, and the client is in a disconnected status when the provided message is handled, then the message is not aborted right away but is queued waiting for a new session. Note that the message can still be aborted later when a new session is established.

Lifecycle:

Since a message is handled by the Metadata Adapter associated to the current connection, a message can be sent only if a connection is currently active. If the special enqueueWhileDisconnected flag is specified it is possible to call the method at any time and the client will take care of sending the message as soon as a connection is available, otherwise, if the current status is "DISCONNECTED*", the message will be abandoned and the ClientMessageListener.onAbort(java.lang.String, boolean) event will be fired.
Note that, in any case, as soon as the status switches again to "DISCONNECTED*", any message still pending is aborted, including messages that were queued with the enqueueWhileDisconnected flag set to true.
Also note that forwarding of the message to the server is made in a separate thread, hence, if a message is sent while the connection is active, it could be aborted because of a subsequent disconnection. In the same way a message sent while the connection is not active might be sent because of a subsequent connection.

addCookies

public static void addCookies(@Nonnull
 URI uri,
 @Nonnull
 List<HttpCookie> cookies)

Static method that can be used to share cookies between connections to the Server (performed by this library) and connections to other sites that are performed by the application. With this method, cookies received by the application can be added (or replaced if already present) to the cookie set used by the library to access the Server. Obviously, only cookies whose domain is compatible with the Server domain will be used internally.
More precisely, this explicit sharing is only needed when the library uses its own cookie storage. This depends on the availability of a default global storage.

• In fact, the library will setup its own local cookie storage only if, upon the first usage of the cookies, a default CookieHandler is not available; then it will always stick to the internal storage.
• On the other hand, if a default CookieHandler is available upon the first usage of the cookies, the library, from then on, will always stick to the default it finds upon each request; in this case, the cookie storage will be already shared with the rest of the application. However, whenever a default CookieHandler of type different from CookieManager is found, the library will not be able to use it and will skip cookie handling (though only in the "full" version of the library).

Parameters:

uri - the URI from which the supplied cookies were received. It cannot be null.

cookies - a list of cookies, represented in the JDK-provided type.

See Also:

• getCookies(java.net.URI)

Lifecycle:

This method should be invoked before calling the connect() method. However it can be invoked at any time; it will affect the internal cookie set immediately and the sending of cookies on the next HTTP request or WebSocket establishment.

getCookies

@Nonnull
public static List<HttpCookie> getCookies(@Nullable
 URI uri)

Static inquiry method that can be used to share cookies between connections to the Server (performed by this library) and connections to other sites that are performed by the application. With this method, cookies received from the Server can be extracted for sending through other connections, according with the URI to be accessed.
See addCookies(java.net.URI, java.util.List<java.net.HttpCookie>) for clarifications on when cookies are directly stored by the library and when not.

Parameters:

uri - the URI to which the cookies should be sent, or null.

Returns:

an immutable list with the various cookies that can be sent in a HTTP request for the specified URI. If a null URI was supplied, all available non-expired cookies will be returned. The cookies are represented in the JDK-provided type.

setTrustManagerFactory

public static void setTrustManagerFactory(@Nonnull
 TrustManagerFactory factory)

Provides a mean to control the way TLS certificates are evaluated, with the possibility to accept untrusted ones.

Parameters:

factory - trust manager factory

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the factory is null

IllegalStateException - if a factory is already installed

Lifecycle:

May be called only once before creating any LightstreamerClient instance.

registerForMpn

public void registerForMpn(@Nonnull
 MpnDevice device)

Operation method that registers the MPN device on the server's MPN Module.
By registering an MPN device, the client enables MPN functionalities such as subscribe(MpnSubscription, boolean).

Parameters:

device - An MpnDevice instace, carrying all the information about the MPN device.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the specified device is null.

See Also:

• subscribe(MpnSubscription, boolean)

Lifecycle:

An MpnDevice can be registered at any time. The registration will be notified through a MpnDeviceListener.onRegistered() event. Note that forwarding of the registration to the server is made in a separate thread.

General edition note:

MPN is an optional feature, available depending on Edition and License Type. To know what features are enabled by your license, please see the License tab of the Monitoring Dashboard (by default, available at /dashboard).

subscribe

public void subscribe(@Nonnull
 MpnSubscription subscription,
 boolean coalescing)

Operation method that subscribes an MpnSubscription on server's MPN Module.
This operation adds the MpnSubscription to the list of "active" subscriptions. MPN subscriptions are activated on the server as soon as possible (i.e. as soon as there is a session available and subsequently as soon as the MPN device registration succeeds). Differently than real-time subscriptions, MPN subscriptions are persisted on the server's MPN Module database and survive the session they were created on.
If the coalescing flag is set, the activation of two MPN subscriptions with the same Adapter Set, Data Adapter, Group, Schema and trigger expression will be considered the same MPN subscription. Activating two such subscriptions will result in the second activation modifying the first MpnSubscription (that could have been issued within a previous session). If the coalescing flag is not set, two activations are always considered different MPN subscriptions, whatever the Adapter Set, Data Adapter, Group, Schema and trigger expression are set.
The rationale behind the coalescing flag is to allow simple apps to always activate their MPN subscriptions when the app starts, without worrying if the same subscriptions have been activated before or not. In fact, since MPN subscriptions are persistent, if they are activated every time the app starts and the coalescing flag is not set, every activation is a new MPN subscription, leading to multiple push notifications for the same event.

Parameters:

subscription - An MpnSubscription object, carrying all the information to route real-time data via push notifications.

coalescing - A flag that specifies if the MPN subscription must coalesce with any pre-existing MPN subscription with the same Adapter Set, Data Adapter, Group, Schema and trigger expression.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the given MPN subscription does not contain a field list/field schema.

IllegalStateException - if the given MPN subscription does not contain a item list/item group.

IllegalStateException - if there is no MPN device registered.

IllegalStateException - if the given MPN subscription is already active.

See Also:

• unsubscribe(MpnSubscription)
• unsubscribeMpnSubscriptions(String)

Lifecycle:

An MpnSubscription can be given to the LightstreamerClient once an MpnDevice registration has been requested. The MpnSubscription immediately enters the "active" state.
Once "active", an MpnSubscription instance cannot be provided again to an LightstreamerClient unless it is first removed from the "active" state through a call to unsubscribe(MpnSubscription).
Note that forwarding of the subscription to the server is made in a separate thread.
A successful subscription to the server will be notified through an MpnSubscriptionListener.onSubscription() event.

General edition note:

MPN is an optional feature, available depending on Edition and License Type. To know what features are enabled by your license, please see the License tab of the Monitoring Dashboard (by default, available at /dashboard).

unsubscribe

public void unsubscribe(@Nonnull
 MpnSubscription subscription)

Operation method that unsubscribes an MpnSubscription from the server's MPN Module.
This operation removes the MpnSubscription from the list of "active" subscriptions.

Parameters:

subscription - An "active" MpnSubscription object.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the given MPN subscription is not active.

IllegalStateException - if there is no MPN device registered.

See Also:

• subscribe(MpnSubscription, boolean)
• unsubscribeMpnSubscriptions(String)

Lifecycle:

An MpnSubscription can be unsubscribed from at any time. Once done the MpnSubscription immediately exits the "active" state.
Note that forwarding of the unsubscription to the server is made in a separate thread.

General edition note:

MPN is an optional feature, available depending on Edition and License Type. To know what features are enabled by your license, please see the License tab of the Monitoring Dashboard (by default, available at /dashboard).

unsubscribeMpnSubscriptions

public void unsubscribeMpnSubscriptions(@Nullable
 String filter)

Operation method that unsubscribes all the MPN subscriptions with a specified status from the server's MPN Module.
By specifying a status filter it is possible to unsubscribe multiple MPN subscriptions at once. E.g. by passing TRIGGERED it is possible to unsubscribe all triggered MPN subscriptions. This operation removes the involved MPN subscriptions from the list of "active" subscriptions.

Parameters:

filter - A status name to be used to select the MPN subscriptions to unsubscribe. If null all existing MPN subscriptions are unsubscribed. Possible filter values are:

• ALL or null
• TRIGGERED
• SUBSCRIBED

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the given filter is not valid.

IllegalStateException - if there is no MPN device registered.

See Also:

• subscribe(MpnSubscription, boolean)
• unsubscribe(MpnSubscription)

Lifecycle:

Multiple unsubscription can be requested at any time. Once done the involved MPN subscriptions immediately exit the "active" state.
Note that forwarding of the unsubscription to the server is made in a separate thread.
The unsubscription will be notified through an MpnSubscriptionListener.onUnsubscription() event to all involved MPN subscriptions.

General edition note:

MPN is an optional feature, available depending on Edition and License Type. To know what features are enabled by your license, please see the License tab of the Monitoring Dashboard (by default, available at /dashboard).

getMpnSubscriptions

@Nonnull
public List<MpnSubscription> getMpnSubscriptions(@Nullable
 String filter)

Inquiry method that returns a collection of the existing MPN subscription with a specified status.
Can return both objects created by the user, via MpnSubscription constructors, and objects created by the client, to represent pre-existing MPN subscriptions.
Note that objects in the collection may be substitutued at any time with equivalent ones: do not rely on pointer matching, instead rely on the MpnSubscription.getSubscriptionId() value to verify the equivalence of two MpnSubscription objects. Substitutions may happen when an MPN subscription is modified, or when it is coalesced with a pre-existing subscription.

Parameters:

filter - An MPN subscription status name to be used to select the MPN subscriptions to return. If null all existing MPN subscriptions are returned. Possible filter values are:

• ALL or null
• TRIGGERED
• SUBSCRIBED

Returns:

the collection of MpnSubscription with the specified status.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the given filter is not valid.

IllegalStateException - if there is no MPN device registered.

See Also:

• findMpnSubscription(String)

Lifecycle:

The collection is available once an MpnDevice registration has been requested, but reflects the actual server's collection only after an MpnDeviceListener.onSubscriptionsUpdated() event has been notified.

General edition note:

MPN is an optional feature, available depending on Edition and License Type. To know what features are enabled by your license, please see the License tab of the Monitoring Dashboard (by default, available at /dashboard).
