> Telnet client: Support Listener Notification of Incoming Data
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NET-344
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-344
> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Telnet
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Archie Cobbs
> Attachments: patch2.txt

>
> I am in the process of trying to implement a Java client for [RFC
> 2217|http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2217], which is the protocol for accessing
> serial ports over TCP. Unfortunately, the commons-net telnet client is
> insufficient for this relatively simple task.
> There are two missing features in the commons-net telnet client code, one of
> which is a show stopper (NET-343) and the other of which would be a "real
> nice to have". This issue documents the second problem:
> The API I am trying to support requires the ability to notify a listener that
> new incoming data is available. This would be trivial for me to do if only my
> library could somehow itself get a listener notification from the
> {{TelnetInputStream}} reader thread every time it reads new data.
> Unfortunately, there's no API provided for doing this, even though it would
> be trivial. So I have to implement a hack that requires a wrapper
> {{InputStream}} with yet another internal reader thread, etc. Bleh.
> I'm going to attempt to come up with a patch and will attach it here if
> successful.
