System and method for supporting port multiplexing in a server environment

摘要

A system and method can support port multiplexing in a server environment, e.g. in a distributed data grid. The server environment can comprise a port to receive one or more request, wherein the port is adapted to be associated with different port address values and the port operates to receive one or more connection requests. Additionally, the server environment allows a plurality of sockets to utilize the different port address values to support multiplexing of sockets over the port, and a multiplexed socket provider can be used to provide the plurality of sockets.

1. A method for supporting port multiplexing in a server environment comprising a plurality of services running on a single server process, the method comprising:
providing a port in the server environment; providing a multiplexed socket provider which provides a plurality of multiplexed sockets associated with the port; associating the port with a plurality of different port address values identifying a plurality of sub-ports of the port each of the plurality of sub-ports being associated with a corresponding one of the plurality of multiplexed sockets; designating a different sub-port of said plurality of sub-ports for each of the plurality of services; and receiving a plurality of connection requests at the port; in response to each of the plurality of connection requests,
reading a particular port address value from said each connection request,identifying a particular sub-port of the plurality of sub-ports associated with the particular port address, andestablishing a connection via the particular sub-port with a particular socket corresponding to the particular sub-port.
