       +-XConnection
Description A bidirectional bytestream. You should additionally implement XConnection2. See also XConnection2

Methods' Summary
read | reads a requested number of bytes from the connection.
write | writes the given bytesequence to the stream.
flush | Empties all internal buffers.
close | Immediately terminates any ongoing read or write calls. All subsequent read or write calls()
getDescription | A unique string describing the connection.

Methods' Details
read
long read( | [out] sequence< byte > [in] long raises( | aReadBytes, nBytesToRead ) ::com::sun::star::io::IOException );
Description reads a requested number of bytes from the connection. This method is blocking, meaning that it always returns a bytesequence with the requested number of bytes, unless it has reached end of file (which often means, that close() has been called). please see also the readSomeBytes() method of XConnection2. Returns The read number of bytes. The return value and the length of the returned sequence must be identical. Parameter nBytesToRead The number of bytes to be read from the stream. Throws com::sun::star::io::IOException in case an error occurred during reading from the stream.
write
void write( | [in] sequence< byte > raises( | aData ) ::com::sun::star::io::IOException );
Description writes the given bytesequence to the stream. The method blocks until the whole sequence is written. Throws com::sun::star::io::IOException in case an error occurred during writing to the stream.
flush
void flush() | raises( | ::com::sun::star::io::IOException );
Description Empties all internal buffers.
close
void close() | raises( | ::com::sun::star::io::IOException );
Description Immediately terminates any ongoing read or write calls. All subsequent read or write calls()
getDescription
string getDescription(); |  |
Description A unique string describing the connection. This string is different from the arguments to XConnection::accept and XConnector::connect . In general, the string contains an additional handle value. For example, "socket,host=localhost,port=2002,uniqueValue=2324".
