32   * Encodes the requested <a href="http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/">Google
33   * Protocol Buffers</a> {@link Message} and {@link MessageLite} into a
34   * {@link ChannelBuffer}. A typical setup for TCP/IP would be:
35   * <pre>
36   * {@link ChannelPipeline} pipeline = ...;
37   *
38   * // Decoders
39   * pipeline.addLast("frameDecoder",
40   *                  new {@link LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder}(1048576, 0, 4, 0, 4));
41   * pipeline.addLast("protobufDecoder",
42   *                  new {@link ProtobufDecoder}(MyMessage.getDefaultInstance()));
43   *
44   * // Encoder
45   * pipeline.addLast("frameEncoder", new {@link LengthFieldPrepender}(4));
46   * pipeline.addLast("protobufEncoder", new {@link ProtobufEncoder}());
47   * </pre>
48   * and then you can use a {@code MyMessage} instead of a {@link ChannelBuffer}
49   * as a message:
50   * <pre>
51   * void messageReceived({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link MessageEvent} e) {
52   *     MyMessage req = (MyMessage) e.getMessage();
53   *     MyMessage res = MyMessage.newBuilder().setText(
54   *                               "Did you say '" + req.getText() + "'?").build();
55   *     ch.write(res);
56   * }
57   * </pre>
