java.io.interruptedioexception

InterruptedIOException:

• The Interrupted IOException is thrown when the input or output transfer has been terminated because the thread performing it was interrupted.Simply it shows us that the I/O transfer has been interrupted.
• This type of exceptions usually occur in the network programming wherein the client tries to communicate with the server.
• If the host is unreachable the client/Server waits for a long time and you are at the mercy of the underlying operating system to time out eventually.
• Rather than waiting for a long time to timeout,you can also be able to interrupt the thread by using the InterruptedIOException,thereby terminating the socket connection.
• For this purpose a method called setSoTimeout() is provided in which you can specify the value of the timeout.
• If the waiting time exceeds the timeout value then the InterruptedIOException is thrown to indicate the sockect connection termination.

Program:

import java.io.*;

import java.net.*;

public class Server{

ServerSocket SSocket;

Socket connection = null;

ObjectOutputStream out;

ObjectInputStream in;

String message;

Server(){}

void run()

{

try{

SSocket = new ServerSocket(5000, 10);

SSocket.setSoTimeout(10000);

System.out.println("Waiting for connection");

connection = SSocket.accept();

System.out.println("Connection received from " + connection.getInetAddress().getHostName());

         out = new ObjectOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream());

out.flush();

in = new ObjectInputStream(connection.getInputStream());

out.writeObject("Connection successful");

do{

try{

message = (String)in.readObject();

System.out.println("client>" + message);

if (message.equals("done"))

out.writeObject("done");

}

catch(ClassNotFoundException c)

{

c.printStackTrace();

}

catch(IOException e){

e.printStackTrace();

}

}while(!message.equals("done"));

}

catch(InterruptedIOException e)

{

System.out.println("InterruptedIOException");

e.printStackTrace();

}

catch(IOException ioException){

ioException.printStackTrace();

}

finally{

try{

in.close();

out.close();

SSocket.close();

}

catch(IOException ioException){

ioException.printStackTrace();

}

}

}

public static void main(String args[])

{

Server server = new Server();

while(true){

server.run();

}

}

}

The above program shown is an example of socket connection.This program acts as a server and it has a timeout value set for 10 seconds.If any client fails to communicate to the server within 10 seconds then InterruptedIOException will be thrown.This Exception will be more useful in client side.
