All Implemented Interfaces:
Runnable

public class InputThread
extends Thread

A Thread which reads lines from the IRC server. It then passes these lines to the PircBot without changing them. This running Thread also detects disconnection from the server and is thus used by the OutputThread to send lines to the server.

Constructor Detail

InputThread

protected InputThread(PircBot bot,
                      BufferedReader breader,
                      BufferedWriter bwriter)
The InputThread reads lines from the IRC server and allows the PircBot to handle them.

Parameters:
bot - An instance of the underlying PircBot.
breader - The BufferedReader that reads lines from the server.
Method Detail

sendRawLine

public void sendRawLine(String line)
Sends a raw line to the IRC server as soon as possible, bypassing the outgoing message queue.

Parameters:
line - The raw line to send to the IRC server.

run

public void run()
Called to start this Thread reading lines from the IRC server. When a line is read, this method calls the handleLine method in the PircBot, which may subsequently call an 'onXxx' method in the PircBot subclass. If any subclass of Throwable (i.e. any Exception or Error) is thrown by your method, then this method will print the stack trace to the standard output. It is probable that the PircBot may still be functioning normally after such a problem, but the existance of any uncaught exceptions in your code is something you should really fix.
