All Known Implementing Classes:

SessionRequestImpl
```
public interface SessionRequest
```
SessionRequest interface represents a request to establish a new connection (or session) to a remote host. It can be used to monitor the status of the request, to block waiting for its completion, or to cancel the request.
Implementations of this interface are expected to be threading safe.

4.0

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`cancel()`	Cancels the request.
`Object`	`getAttachment()`	Returns attachment object will be added to the session's context upon initialization.
`int`	`getConnectTimeout()`	Returns connect timeout value in milliseconds.
`IOException`	`getException()`	Returns `IOException` instance if the request could not be successfully executed due to an I/O error or `null` if no error occurred to this point.
`SocketAddress`	`getLocalAddress()`	Returns local socket address.
`SocketAddress`	`getRemoteAddress()`	Returns socket address of the remote host.
`IOSession`	`getSession()`	Returns `IOSession` instance created as a result of this request or `null` if the request is still pending.
`boolean`	`isCompleted()`	Determines whether the request has been completed (either successfully or unsuccessfully).
`void`	`setConnectTimeout(int timeout)`	Sets connect timeout value in milliseconds.
`void`	`waitFor()`	Waits for completion of this session request.

- Method Detail
  - getRemoteAddress
```
SocketAddress getRemoteAddress()
```
    Returns socket address of the remote host.
    
    Returns:
    
    socket address of the remote host
  - getLocalAddress
```
SocketAddress getLocalAddress()
```
    Returns local socket address.
    
    Returns:
    
    local socket address.
  - getAttachment
```
Object getAttachment()
```
    Returns attachment object will be added to the session's context upon initialization. This object can be used to pass an initial processing state to the protocol handler.
    
    Returns:
    
    attachment object.
  - isCompleted
```
boolean isCompleted()
```
    Determines whether the request has been completed (either successfully or unsuccessfully).
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the request has been completed, false if still pending.
  - getSession
```
IOSession getSession()
```
    Returns IOSession instance created as a result of this request or null if the request is still pending.
    
    Returns:
    
    I/O session or null if the request is still pending.
  - getException
```
IOException getException()
```
    Returns IOException instance if the request could not be successfully executed due to an I/O error or null if no error occurred to this point.
    
    Returns:
    
    I/O exception or null if no error occurred to this point.
  - waitFor
```
void waitFor()
      throws InterruptedException
```
    Waits for completion of this session request.
    
    Throws:
    
    InterruptedException - in case the execution process was interrupted.
  - setConnectTimeout
```
void setConnectTimeout(int timeout)
```
    Sets connect timeout value in milliseconds.
    
    Parameters:
    
    timeout - connect timeout value in milliseconds.
  - getConnectTimeout
```
int getConnectTimeout()
```
    Returns connect timeout value in milliseconds.
    
    Returns:
    
    connect timeout value in milliseconds.
  - cancel
```
void cancel()
```
    Cancels the request. Invocation of this method will set the status of the request to completed and will unblock threads blocked in the {waitFor()} method.
