Socket Interceptor

Hazelcast allows you to intercept socket connections before a member joins a cluster or a client connects to a member of a cluster. This allow you to add custom hooks to join and perform connection procedures (like identity checking using a custom network authentication protocol, etc.).

To use the socket interceptor, implement com.hazelcast.nio.MemberSocketInterceptor for members and com.hazelcast.nio.SocketInterceptor for clients.

The following is an example socket interceptor implementation for the member side.

    public static class MySocketInterceptor implements MemberSocketInterceptor {

        private String memberId;

        public MySocketInterceptor() {
        }

        @Override
        public void onAccept(Socket socket) throws IOException {
            socket.getOutputStream().write(memberId.getBytes());
            byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
            int len = socket.getInputStream().read(bytes);
            String otherMemberId = new String(bytes, 0, len);
            if (!otherMemberId.equals("secondMember")) {
                throw new RuntimeException("Not a known member!!!");
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void init(Properties properties) {
            memberId = properties.getProperty("member-id");
        }

        @Override
        public void onConnect(Socket socket) throws IOException {
            socket.getOutputStream().write(memberId.getBytes());
            byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
            int len = socket.getInputStream().read(bytes);
            String otherMemberId = new String(bytes, 0, len);
            if (!otherMemberId.equals("firstMember")) {
                throw new RuntimeException("Not a known member!!!");
            }
        }

You can declaratively configure this socket interceptor as follows:

XML
YAML

<hazelcast>
    ...
    <network>
        <socket-interceptor enabled="true">
            <class-name>com.hazelcast.examples.MySocketInterceptor</class-name>
            <properties>
                <property name="property1">value1</property>
                <property name="property2">value2</property>
                <property name=foo>bar</property>
            </properties>
        </socket-interceptor>
    </network>
    ...
</hazelcast>

hazelcast:
  network:
    socket-interceptor:
        enabled: true
        class-name: com.hazelcast.examples.MySocketInterceptor
        properties:
          property1: value1
          property2: value2
          foo: bar

The following is an example configuration of the above socket interceptor for the client side.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        Config config = createConfig();
        Hazelcast.newHazelcastInstance(config);

        ClientConfig clientConfig = createClientConfig();
        HazelcastClient.newHazelcastClient(clientConfig);
    }

    private static Config createConfig() {
        Config config = new Config();
        //config.setLicenseKey(ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_KEY);
        config.setProperty("hazelcast.wait.seconds.before.join", "0");

        SocketInterceptorConfig interceptorConfig = new SocketInterceptorConfig();
        interceptorConfig.setEnabled(true).setClassName(MySocketInterceptor.class.getName());
        config.getNetworkConfig().setSocketInterceptorConfig(interceptorConfig);

        return config;
    }

    private static ClientConfig createClientConfig() {
        ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig();
        //clientConfig.setLicenseKey(ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_KEY);
        SocketInterceptorConfig interceptorConfig = new SocketInterceptorConfig();
        interceptorConfig.setEnabled(true).setClassName(MySocketInterceptor.class.getName());
        clientConfig.getNetworkConfig().setSocketInterceptorConfig(interceptorConfig);
        return clientConfig;
    }
