class ThreadServer<Client, Message>

package cpp.net

Available on cpp

The ThreadServer can be used to easily create a multithreaded server where each thread polls multiple connections. To use it, at a minimum you must override or rebind clientConnected, readClientMessage, and clientMessage and you must define your Client and Message.

errorOutput:Output

Stream to send error messages.

initialBufferSize:Int

Space allocated to buffers when they are created.

listen:Int
