Method Detail

getWaitingEventSize

public int getWaitingEventSize()

Returns the number of session events that are still not dispatched to SessionListeners.

fire

public void fire(Event event)

Fires the specified session event.

flush

public void flush()

(Optional operation) Flushes the buffered events. This method is invoked by ReadController#processEvent(Event)and WriteController#processEvent(Event)after the expected I/O operations have been completed. So you can implement EventDispatcherto buffer the fireXXX calls and fire (flush) them here in actually.
