 public abstract class DatagramChannel extends AbstractSelectableChannel implements ByteChannel, ScatteringByteChannel, GatheringByteChannel, MulticastChannel A selectable channel for datagram-oriented sockets.A datagram channel is created by invoking one of the openmethods of this class. It is not possible to create a channel for an arbitrary, pre-existing datagram socket. A newly-created datagram channel is open but not connected. A datagram channel need not be connected in order for thesendandreceivemethods to be used. A datagram channel may be connected, by invoking itsconnectmethod, in order to avoid the overhead of the security checks are otherwise performed as part of every send and receive operation. A datagram channel must be connected in order to use thereadandwritemethods, since those methods do not accept or return socket addresses.Once connected, a datagram channel remains connected until it is disconnected or closed. Whether or not a datagram channel is connected may be determined by invoking its isConnectedmethod.Socket options are configured using the setOptionmethod. A datagram channel to an Internet Protocol socket supports the following options:
 Additional (implementation specific) options may also be supported.Option Name Description SO_SNDBUFThe size of the socket send buffer SO_RCVBUFThe size of the socket receive buffer SO_REUSEADDRRe-use address SO_BROADCASTAllow transmission of broadcast datagrams IP_TOSThe Type of Service (ToS) octet in the Internet Protocol (IP) header IP_MULTICAST_IFThe network interface for Internet Protocol (IP) multicast datagrams IP_MULTICAST_TTLThe time-to-live for Internet Protocol (IP) multicast datagrams IP_MULTICAST_LOOPLoopback for Internet Protocol (IP) multicast datagrams Datagram channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. They support concurrent reading and writing, though at most one thread may be reading and at most one thread may be writing at any given time. - Since:

Method Detail- 
openpublic static DatagramChannel open() throws IOException Opens a datagram channel.The new channel is created by invoking the openDatagramChannelmethod of the system-wide defaultSelectorProviderobject. The channel will not be connected.The ProtocolFamilyof the channel's socket is platform (and possibly configuration) dependent and therefore unspecified. Theopenallows the protocol family to be selected when opening a datagram channel, and should be used to open datagram channels that are intended for Internet Protocol multicasting.- Returns:
- A new datagram channel
- Throws:
- IOException- If an I/O error occurs
 
 - 
openpublic static DatagramChannel open(ProtocolFamily family) throws IOException Opens a datagram channel.The familyparameter is used to specify theProtocolFamily. If the datagram channel is to be used for IP multicasting then this should correspond to the address type of the multicast groups that this channel will join.The new channel is created by invoking the openDatagramChannelmethod of the system-wide defaultSelectorProviderobject. The channel will not be connected.- Parameters:
- family- The protocol family
- Returns:
- A new datagram channel
- Throws:
- UnsupportedOperationException- If the specified protocol family is not supported. For example, suppose the parameter is specified as- StandardProtocolFamily.INET6but IPv6 is not enabled on the platform.
- IOException- If an I/O error occurs
- Since:
- 1.7

- validOpsin class- SelectableChannel
- Returns:
- The valid-operation set
 
 - 
bindpublic abstract DatagramChannel bind(SocketAddress local) throws IOException Description copied from interface:NetworkChannelBinds the channel's socket to a local address.This method is used to establish an association between the socket and a local address. Once an association is established then the socket remains bound until the channel is closed. If the localparameter has the valuenullthen the socket will be bound to an address that is assigned automatically.- Specified by:
- bindin interface- NetworkChannel
- Parameters:
- local- The address to bind the socket, or- nullto bind the socket to an automatically assigned socket address
- Returns:
- This channel
- Throws:
- AlreadyBoundException- If the socket is already bound

socketpublic abstract DatagramSocket socket() Retrieves a datagram socket associated with this channel.The returned object will not declare any public methods that are not declared in the DatagramSocketclass.- Returns:
- A datagram socket associated with this channel
 
 - 
isConnectedpublic abstract boolean isConnected() Tells whether or not this channel's socket is connected.- Returns:
- trueif, and only if, this channel's socket is- openand connected
 
 - 
connectpublic abstract DatagramChannel connect(SocketAddress remote) throws IOException Connects this channel's socket.The channel's socket is configured so that it only receives datagrams from, and sends datagrams to, the given remote peer address. Once connected, datagrams may not be received from or sent to any other address. A datagram socket remains connected until it is explicitly disconnected or until it is closed. This method performs exactly the same security checks as the connectmethod of theDatagramSocketclass. That is, if a security manager has been installed then this method verifies that itscheckAcceptandcheckConnectmethods permit datagrams to be received from and sent to, respectively, the given remote address.This method may be invoked at any time. It will not have any effect on read or write operations that are already in progress at the moment that it is invoked. If this channel's socket is not bound then this method will first cause the socket to be bound to an address that is assigned automatically, as if invoking the bindmethod with a parameter ofnull.- Parameters:
- remote- The remote address to which this channel is to be connected
- Returns:
- This datagram channel
- Throws:
- AlreadyConnectedException- If this channel is already connected
- ClosedChannelException- If this channel is closed
- AsynchronousCloseException- If another thread closes this channel while the connect operation is in progress
- ClosedByInterruptException- If another thread interrupts the current thread while the connect operation is in progress, thereby closing the channel and setting the current thread's interrupt status
- UnresolvedAddressException- If the given remote address is not fully resolved
- UnsupportedAddressTypeException- If the type of the given remote address is not supported
- SecurityException- If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit access to the given remote address
- IOException- If some other I/O error occurs
 
 - 
disconnectpublic abstract DatagramChannel disconnect() throws IOException Disconnects this channel's socket.The channel's socket is configured so that it can receive datagrams from, and sends datagrams to, any remote address so long as the security manager, if installed, permits it. This method may be invoked at any time. It will not have any effect on read or write operations that are already in progress at the moment that it is invoked. If this channel's socket is not connected, or if the channel is closed, then invoking this method has no effect. - Returns:
- This datagram channel
- Throws:
- IOException- If some other I/O error occurs
 
 - 
getRemoteAddresspublic abstract SocketAddress getRemoteAddress() throws IOException Returns the remote address to which this channel's socket is connected.- Returns:
- The remote address; nullif the channel's socket is not connected
- Throws:
- ClosedChannelException- If the channel is closed
- IOException- If an I/O error occurs
- Since:
- 1.7
 
 - 
receivepublic abstract SocketAddress receive(ByteBuffer dst) throws IOException Receives a datagram via this channel.If a datagram is immediately available, or if this channel is in blocking mode and one eventually becomes available, then the datagram is copied into the given byte buffer and its source address is returned. If this channel is in non-blocking mode and a datagram is not immediately available then this method immediately returns null.The datagram is transferred into the given byte buffer starting at its current position, as if by a regular readoperation. If there are fewer bytes remaining in the buffer than are required to hold the datagram then the remainder of the datagram is silently discarded.This method performs exactly the same security checks as the receivemethod of theDatagramSocketclass. That is, if the socket is not connected to a specific remote address and a security manager has been installed then for each datagram received this method verifies that the source's address and port number are permitted by the security manager'scheckAcceptmethod. The overhead of this security check can be avoided by first connecting the socket via theconnectmethod.This method may be invoked at any time. If another thread has already initiated a read operation upon this channel, however, then an invocation of this method will block until the first operation is complete. If this channel's socket is not bound then this method will first cause the socket to be bound to an address that is assigned automatically, as if invoking the bindmethod with a parameter ofnull.- Parameters:
- dst- The buffer into which the datagram is to be transferred
- Returns:
- The datagram's source address,
          or nullif this channel is in non-blocking mode and no datagram was immediately available
- Throws:
- ClosedChannelException- If this channel is closed
- AsynchronousCloseException- If another thread closes this channel while the read operation is in progress
- ClosedByInterruptException- If another thread interrupts the current thread while the read operation is in progress, thereby closing the channel and setting the current thread's interrupt status
- SecurityException- If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit datagrams to be accepted from the datagram's sender
- IOException- If some other I/O error occurs
 
 - 
sendpublic abstract int send(ByteBuffer src, SocketAddress target) throws IOException Sends a datagram via this channel.If this channel is in non-blocking mode and there is sufficient room in the underlying output buffer, or if this channel is in blocking mode and sufficient room becomes available, then the remaining bytes in the given buffer are transmitted as a single datagram to the given target address. The datagram is transferred from the byte buffer as if by a regular writeoperation.This method performs exactly the same security checks as the sendmethod of theDatagramSocketclass. That is, if the socket is not connected to a specific remote address and a security manager has been installed then for each datagram sent this method verifies that the target address and port number are permitted by the security manager'scheckConnectmethod. The overhead of this security check can be avoided by first connecting the socket via theconnectmethod.This method may be invoked at any time. If another thread has already initiated a write operation upon this channel, however, then an invocation of this method will block until the first operation is complete. If this channel's socket is not bound then this method will first cause the socket to be bound to an address that is assigned automatically, as if by invoking the bindmethod with a parameter ofnull.- Parameters:
- src- The buffer containing the datagram to be sent
- target- The address to which the datagram is to be sent
- Returns:
- The number of bytes sent, which will be either the number of bytes that were remaining in the source buffer when this method was invoked or, if this channel is non-blocking, may be zero if there was insufficient room for the datagram in the underlying output buffer
- Throws:
- AlreadyConnectedException- If this channel is connected to a different address from that specified by- target
- ClosedChannelException- If this channel is closed
- AsynchronousCloseException- If another thread closes this channel while the read operation is in progress

- UnsupportedAddressTypeException- If the type of the given remote address is not supported
- SecurityException- If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit datagrams to be sent to the given address
- IOException- If some other I/O error occurs
