J2ME in a Nutshell

Name

StreamConnectionNotifier

Synopsis

StreamConnectionNotifier is a type of Connection returned when the application invokes the Connector open() method with the name argument of the form socket://:port. This creates a server socket, which listens for connections from clients and creates a StreamConnection for each connection received.

Connections can be retrieved by calling the acceptAndOpen() method, which blocks until a connection is available. Application code will normally loop through calling this method and creating a new thread to service each connection. Invoking the StreamConnectionNotifier close() method causes acceptAndOpen() to throw an IOException, which can be used to break out of such a loop.
