Examples can be found in WebsocketTransport.java or XhrTransport.java Create a class implementing the IOTransport interface.

This constant should contain the name of the transport.

Called by IOConnector to create a new Instance of the transport. The URL is the one you should connect to. Here you can rewrite the url if needed, i.e. WebsocketTransport rewrites the incoming "https://" address to "ws://"

Called by IOConnection. Here you should set up the connection.

Called by IOConnection. This should shut down the connection. I'm currently not sure if this function is called multiple times. So make sure, it doesn't crash if it's called more than once.

Called by IOConnection. This call request you to send data to the server.

If you can send more than one message at a time, return true. If not return false.

Basicly the same as send() but for multiple messages at a time. This is only called when canSendBulk returns true.

After this call, the transport should not call any methods of IOConnection. It must not disconnect from the server. This is the case when we're forcing a reconnect. If we disconnect gracefully from the server, it will terminate our session.

Ok, now we know when our functions are called. But how do we tell socket.io-java-client to process messages we get? The provided IOConnection does the trick.

Call this method when the connection is established an the socket is ready to send and receive data.

Call this method when the connection is shot down. IOConnection will care about reconnecting, if it's feasibility.

Call this method when the connection is experiencing an error. IOConnection will take care about reconnecting or throwing an error to the callbacks. Whatever makes more sense ;)

This should be called as soon as the transport has received data. IOConnection will take care about parsing the information and calling the callbacks of the sockets.

Now IOConnection needs to instantiate the transpost look at the sourcecode of IOConnection and search for the connectTransport() method. It's part of the ConnectThread inner class.

add a new else if branch to the section. I.e.:

	...
	else if (protocols.contains(MyTransport.TRANSPORT_NAME))
		transport = MyTransport.create(url, IOConnection.this);
	...
