TFTPPacket is an abstract class encapsulating the functionality common to the 5 types of TFTP packets. It also provides a static factory method that will create the correct TFTP packet instance from a datagram. This relieves the programmer from having to figure out what kind of TFTP packet is contained in a datagram and create it himself.

Details regarding the TFTP protocol and the format of TFTP packets can be found in RFC 783. But the point of these classes is to keep you from having to worry about the internals. Additionally, only very few people should have to care about any of the TFTPPacket classes or derived classes. Almost all users should only be concerned with the TFTPClient class receiveFile() and sendFile() methods.

When you receive a datagram that you expect to be a TFTP packet, you use this factory method to create the proper TFTPPacket object encapsulating the data contained in that datagram. This method is the only way you can instantiate a TFTPPacket derived class from a datagram.
Params:
  • datagram – The datagram containing a TFTP packet.
Throws:
Returns:The TFTPPacket object corresponding to the datagram.

This constructor is not visible outside of the package. It is used by subclasses within the package to initialize base data.

  • address – The host the packet came from or is going to be sent.
  • port – The port the packet came from or is going to be sent.

This is an abstract method only available within the package for implementing efficient datagram transport by elminating buffering. It takes a datagram as an argument, and a byte buffer in which to store the raw datagram data. Inside the method, the data should be set as the datagram's data and the datagram returned.
Params:
  • datagram – The datagram to create.
  • data – The buffer to store the packet and to use in the datagram.
Returns:The datagram argument.

Creates a UDP datagram containing all the TFTP packet data in the proper format. This is an abstract method, exposed to the programmer in case he wants to implement his own TFTP client instead of using the TFTPClient class. Under normal circumstances, you should not have a need to call this method.
Returns:A UDP datagram containing the TFTP packet.
