The TelnetOptionHandler class is the base class to be used for implementing handlers for telnet options.

TelnetOptionHandler implements basic option handling functionality and defines abstract methods that must be implemented to define subnegotiation behaviour.

Constructor for the TelnetOptionHandler. Allows defining desired initial setting for local/remote activation of this option and behaviour in case a local/remote activation request for this option is received.

Params:
  • optcode – - Option code.
  • initlocal – - if set to true, a WILL is sent upon connection.
  • initremote – - if set to true, a DO is sent upon connection.
  • acceptlocal – - if set to true, any DO request is accepted.
  • acceptremote – - if set to true, any WILL request is accepted.

/*** * Returns a boolean indicating whether to send a DO request * to the other end upon connection. * <p> * @return true if a DO request shall be sent upon connection. ***/
public boolean getInitRemote() { return (initialRemote); }
Tells this option whether to send a WILL request upon connection.

Params:
  • init – - if true, a WILL request will be sent upon subsequent connections.
/*** * Tells this option whether to send a WILL request upon connection. * <p> * @param init - if true, a WILL request will be sent upon subsequent * connections. ***/
public void setInitLocal(boolean init) { initialLocal = init; }
Tells this option whether to send a DO request upon connection.

Params:
  • init – - if true, a DO request will be sent upon subsequent connections.
/*** * Tells this option whether to send a DO request upon connection. * <p> * @param init - if true, a DO request will be sent upon subsequent * connections. ***/
public void setInitRemote(boolean init) { initialRemote = init; }
Method called upon reception of a subnegotiation for this option coming from the other end.

This implementation returns null, and must be overridden by the actual TelnetOptionHandler to specify which response must be sent for the subnegotiation request.

Params:
  • suboptionData – - the sequence received, without IAC SB & IAC SE
  • suboptionLength – - the length of data in suboption_data

Returns:response to be sent to the subnegotiation sequence. TelnetClient will add IAC SB & IAC SE. null means no response

public int[] answerSubnegotiation(int suboptionData[], int suboptionLength) { return null; }
This method is invoked whenever this option is acknowledged active on the local end (TelnetClient sent a WILL, remote side sent a DO). The method is used to specify a subnegotiation sequence that will be sent by TelnetClient when the option is activated.

This implementation returns null, and must be overriden by the actual TelnetOptionHandler to specify which response must be sent for the subnegotiation request.

Returns:subnegotiation sequence to be sent by TelnetClient. TelnetClient will add IAC SB & IAC SE. null means no subnegotiation.

boolean getWill() { return willFlag; }
Tells this option whether a WILL request sent to the other side has been acknowledged (invoked by TelnetClient).

Params:
  • state – - if true, a WILL request has been acknowledged.
