rxnetty-examples

This module contains examples for various usecases that RxNetty to act as a "Getting Started" guide to use RxNetty. The examples are not exhaustive in terms of the features RxNetty provides but are representative of different usecases that one can achieve using RxNetty

Catalog

The catalog is categorized with protocol as well as the user level like Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, for you to get to the correct example when using RxNetty. The following protocol based categorization links to the elaborate examples per protocol.

TCP

This catalog contains all examples for TCP.

HTTP

This catalog contains all examples for HTTP.

WebSockets

This catalog contains all examples for HTTP.

Using the examples

All examples have a Server and Client class, both of which can be run independently from their main methods.

Server

All servers use ephemeral ports and when started outputs the port it is using. The server code is usually useful when you are trying to understand how to write a server for that usecase. If you are only interested in the client, then you can safely ignore the server part as the client is standalone.

Client

All clients can be executed in 3 different ways:

• Default: This internally starts the server required by the client and uses the ephermal port used by the server. This is the easiest way to run any example.

• Use an already started server: In this mode, the client does not try to start a server by itself. For running in this mode, you should pass the port as a program argument while running the client, eg:

  java io.reactivex.netty.examples.http.helloworld.HelloWorldClient [server port]
  

• Use an external server: In this mode, the client does not try to start a server by itself. For running in this mode, you should pass server host & port as a program argument while running the client, eg:

   java io.reactivex.netty.examples.http.helloworld.HelloWorldClient [server port] [server host]
