Sockets Connector Reference - Mule 4

Protocol

TcpProtocol that knows how the data is going to be read and written. If not specified, the SafeProtocol will be used.

TLS Configuration

Its presence will imply the use of SSLServerSocket instead of plain TCP ServerSocket for accepting new SSL connections.

Port

Connection's port number

Host

Connection's host name

Reconnection Strategy

A retry strategy in case of connectivity errors

Disable Validation

Disables connection validation

Send Buffer Size

The size of the buffer (in bytes) used when sending data, set on the socket itself.

Receive Buffer Size

The size of the buffer (in bytes) used when receiving data, set on the socket itself.

Client Timeout

This sets the SO_TIMEOUT value on sockets. Indicates the amount of time (in milliseconds) that the socket will wait in a blocking operation before failing. A value of 0 (the default) means waiting indefinitely.

Reuse Address

If set (the default), SO_REUSEADDRESS is set on the sockets before binding. This helps reduce "address already in use" errors when a socket is re-used.

true

Send TCP With No Delay

If set, transmitted data is not collected together for greater efficiency but sent immediately. Defaults to true even though Socket default is false because optimizing to reduce amount of network traffic over latency is hardly ever a concern today.

true

Linger

This sets the SO_LINGER value. This is related to how long (in milliseconds) the socket will take to close so that any remaining data is transmitted correctly.

Keep Alive

Enables SO_KEEPALIVE behavior on open sockets. This automatically checks socket connections that are open but unused for long periods and closes them if the connection becomes unavailable. This is a property on the socket itself and is used by a server socket to control whether connections to the server are kept alive before they are recycled.

false

Fail On Unresolved Host

Whether the socket should fail during its creation if the host set on the endpoint cannot be resolved. However, it can be set to false to allow unresolved hosts (useful when connecting through a proxy).

true

Server Timeout

This sets the SO_TIMEOUT value when the socket is used as a server. This is the timeout that applies to the "accept" operation. A value of 0 (the ServerSocket default) causes the accept to wait indefinitely (if no connection arrives).

Receive Backlog

The maximum queue length for incoming connections.

50

Port

Connection's port number

Host

Connection's host name

Reconnection Strategy

A retry strategy in case of connectivity errors

Disable Validation

Disables connection validation

Send Buffer Size

The size of the buffer (in bytes) used when sending data, set on the socket itself.

Receive Buffer Size

The size of the buffer (in bytes) used when receiving data, set on the socket itself.

Client Timeout

This sets the SO_TIMEOUT value on sockets. Indicates the amount of time (in milliseconds) that the socket will wait in a blocking operation before failing. A value of 0 (the default) means waiting indefinitely.

Reuse Address

If set (the default), SO_REUSEADDRESS is set on the sockets before binding. This helps reduce "address already in use" errors when a socket is re-used.

true

Broadcast

Enable/disable SO_BROADCAST into the DatagramSocket

false

Local Address Settings

This configuration parameter refers to the address where the Socket should bind to.

Protocol

TcpProtocol that knows how the data is going to be read and written. If not specified, the SafeProtocol will be used.

TLS Configuration

Its presence will imply the use of SSLSocket instead of plain TCP Socket for establishing a connection over SSL.

Port

Connection's port number

Host

Connection's host name

Reconnection Strategy

Disable Validation

Disables connection validation

Pooling Profile

Characteristics of the connection pool

Connection Timeout

Number of milliseconds to wait until an outbound connection to a remote server is successfully created. Defaults to 30 seconds.
