## Detailed Description

### template<class HANDLER>
class ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >

This class is an example of the Connector pattern. This class will establish new connections and create new HANDLER objects to handle the new connections.

Unlike the ACE_Connector, however, this class is designed to be used asynchronously with the ACE Proactor framework.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class HANDLER>
ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::ACE_Asynch_Connector | ( | void |  | ) |

| A do nothing constructor.

template<class HANDLER>
ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::~ACE_Asynch_Connector | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Virtual destruction.

## Member Function Documentation

template<class HANDLER>
ACE_Asynch_Connect & ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::asynch_connect | ( | void |  | ) | `[protected]`

| Return the asynch Connect object.

template<class HANDLER>
int ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::cancel | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| This cancels all pending accepts operations that were issued by the calling thread. Note: On Windows, this method does not cancel connect operations issued by other threads. Note: On POSIX, delegates cancelation to ACE_POSIX_Asynch_Connect.

template<class HANDLER>
int ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::connect | ( | const ACE_INET_Addr & | remote_sap,
|  | const ACE_INET_Addr & | local_sap = ACE_INET_Addr ((u_short)0),
|  | int | reuse_addr = 1,
|  | const void * | act = 0
| ) | `[virtual]`

| This initiates a new asynchronous connect.

template<class HANDLER>
void ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::handle_connect | ( | const ACE_Asynch_Connect::Result & | result | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

| This is called when an outstanding accept completes. Reimplemented from ACE_Handler.

template<class HANDLER>
HANDLER * ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::make_handler | ( | void |  | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

| This is the template method used to create new handler. Subclasses must overwrite this method if a new handler creation strategy is required.

template<class HANDLER>
int ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::open | ( | int | pass_addresses = 0,
|  | ACE_Proactor * | proactor = 0,
|  | int | validate_new_connection = 1
| ) | `[virtual]`

| This opens asynch connector

template<class HANDLER>
void ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::parse_address | ( | const ACE_Asynch_Connect::Result & | result,
|  | ACE_INET_Addr & | remote_address,
|  | ACE_INET_Addr & | local_address
| ) | `[protected]`

| This parses the address from read buffer.

template<class HANDLER>
void ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::pass_addresses | ( | int | new_value | ) | `[virtual]`

template<class HANDLER>
int ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::pass_addresses | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Set and get flag that indicates if parsing and passing of addresses to the service_handler is necessary.

template<class HANDLER>
int ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::validate_connection | ( | const ACE_Asynch_Connect::Result & | result,
|  | const ACE_INET_Addr & | remote,
|  | const ACE_INET_Addr & | local
| ) | `[virtual]`

  | Template method to validate peer before service is opened. This method is called when the connection attempt completes, whether it succeeded or failed, if the validate_connection argument to `open()` was non-zero or the `validate_new_connection()` method is called to turn this feature on. The default implementation returns 0. Users can (and probably should) reimplement this method to learn about the success or failure of the connection attempt. If the connection completed successfully, this method can be used to perform validation of the peer using it's address, running an authentication procedure (such as SSL) or anything else necessary or desireable. The return value from this method determines whether or not ACE will continue opening the service or abort the connection. Parameters:
  result | Result of the connection acceptance. Use result.success() to determine success or failure of the connection attempt.
  remote | Peer's address. If the connection failed, this object is undefined.
  local | Local address connection was completed from. If the connection failed, this object is undefined.
  Return values:
  -1 | ACE_Asynch_Connector will close the connection, and the service will not be opened.
  0 | Service opening will proceeed.
Returns: Return value is ignored if the connection attempt failed.

template<class HANDLER>
void ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::validate_new_connection | ( | int | new_value | ) | `[virtual]`

template<class HANDLER>
int ACE_Asynch_Connector< HANDLER >::validate_new_connection | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Set and get flag that indicates if address validation is required.
