# Class WsFrameBase

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tomcat.websocket.WsFrameBase

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `WsFrameClient, WsFrameServer`

public abstract class WsFrameBase extends Object
Takes the ServletInputStream, processes the WebSocket frames it contains and extracts the messages. WebSocket Pings received will be responded to automatically without any action required by the application.

  Description
  `protected static enum`
  `WsFrameBase.ReadState`
  WAITING - not suspended Server case: waiting for a notification that data is ready to be read from the socket, the socket is registered to the poller Client case: data has been read from the socket and is waiting for data to be processed PROCESSING - not suspended Server case: reading from the socket and processing the data Client case: processing the data if such has already been read and more data will be read from the socket SUSPENDING_WAIT - suspended, a call to suspend() was made while in WAITING state.

  - ### sendMessageText

    protected void sendMessageText(boolean last) throws WsIOException
    Sends a text message to the remote endpoint.
    Parameters:

    protected void sendMessageBinary(ByteBuffer msg, boolean last) throws WsIOException
    Sends a binary message to the remote endpoint.
    Parameters:
      `msg` - The message data
      `last` - Whether this is the last fragment of the message
    Throws:
      `WsIOException` - If a WebSocket I/O error occurs

  - ### byteArrayToLong

    protected static long byteArrayToLong(byte[] b, int start, int len) throws IOException
    Converts a byte array segment to a long value.
    Parameters:
      `b` - The byte array
      `start` - The start index
      `len` - The length
    Returns:
      the long value
    Throws:
      `IOException` - If the length exceeds 8 bytes

  - ### isOpen

    protected boolean isOpen()
    Returns whether the connection is open.
    Returns:
      `true` if open

  - ### getTransformation

    protected Transformation getTransformation()
    Returns the transformation applied to this frame.

  - ### suspend

    public void suspend()
    Suspends processing of this frame.

  - ### resume

    public void resume()
    Resumes processing of this frame after suspension.

  - ### isSuspended

    protected boolean isSuspended()
    Returns whether this frame is currently suspended.
    Returns:
      `true` if suspended

  - ### getReadState

    protected WsFrameBase.ReadState getReadState()
    Returns the current read state.
    Returns:
      the read state

  - ### changeReadState

    protected void changeReadState(WsFrameBase.ReadState newState)
    Changes the read state to the new state.
    Parameters:
      `newState` - The new read state

  - ### changeReadState

    protected boolean changeReadState(WsFrameBase.ReadState oldState, WsFrameBase.ReadState newState)
    Atomically changes the read state if it matches the expected old state.
    Parameters:
      `oldState` - The expected old state
      `newState` - The new state
    Returns:
      `true` if the state was changed

  - ### resumeProcessing

    protected abstract void resumeProcessing()
    This method will be invoked when the read operation is resumed. Since suspend of the read operation can be invoked at any time, when implementing this method one should consider that there might still be data remaining into the internal buffers that needs to be processed before reading again from the socket.
