Class ReconnectingSocket

java.lang.Object

com.wavefront.sdk.common.ReconnectingSocket

public class ReconnectingSocket
extends Object

Creates a TCP client suitable for the WF proxy. That is: a client which is long-lived and semantically one-way. This client tries persistently to reconnect to the given host and port if a connection is ever broken. If the server (in practice, the WF proxy) sends a TCP FIN or TCP RST, we will treat it as a "broken connection" and just try to connect again on the next call to write(). This means each ReconnectingSocket has a polling thread for the server to listen for connection resets.
