Clients may be started directly by the router when they are listed
|
||||
in the <a href="{{ configspec }}">clients.config</a> file.
|
||||
These clients may be "managed" or "unmanaged".
|
||||
This is handled by the ClientAppManager.
|
||||
Additionally, managed or unmanaged clients may register with the
|
||||
ClientAppManager so that other clients may retrieve a reference to them.
|
||||
There is also a simple Port Mapper facility for clients to register an
|
||||
internal port that other clients may look up.

As of release 0.9.4, the router supports managed clients.
|

Managed clients are instantiated and started by the ClientAppManager.
|

The ClientAppManager maintains a reference to the client and receives updates on the client's state.
|
||||
Managed clients are preferred, as it is much easier to implement state tracking
|
||||
and to start and stop a client. It also is much easier to avoid static references in the client code
|
||||
which could lead to excessive memory usage after a client is stopped.
|

Managed clients may be started and stopped by the user in the router console,
|

and are stopped at router shutdown.

The router also provides a simple mechanism for clients to find an internal socket service,

Registration is by name.

Clients that register generally provide an internal emulated socket on that port.

<h4>Managed Clients</h4>

|

As of release 0.9.4, the router supports "managed" clients.
|

Managed clients are instantiated and started by the <code>ClientAppManager</code>.
|
||||
The ClientAppManager maintains a reference to the client and receives updates on the client's state.
|
||||
Managed clients are preferred, as it is much easier to implement state tracking
|
||||
and to start and stop a client. It also is much easier to avoid static references in the client code
|
||||
which could lead to excessive memory usage after a client is stopped.
|

</p>

<p>
|
||||
Managed clients implement either the <code>net.i2p.app.ClientApp</code> or
|
||||
<code>net.i2p.router.app.RouterApp</code> interface.
|

Clients implementing the ClientApp interface MUST provide the following constructor:

<h4>Unmanaged Clients</h4>
