org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.frame.LineBasedFrameDecoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelUpstreamHandler, LifeCycleAwareChannelHandler

public class LineBasedFrameDecoder
extends FrameDecoder

A decoder that splits the received ChannelBuffers on line endings.

Both "\n" and "\r\n" are handled. For a more general delimiter-based decoder, see DelimiterBasedFrameDecoder.

Constructor Detail

LineBasedFrameDecoder

public LineBasedFrameDecoder(int maxLength)

Creates a new decoder.

Parameters:

maxLength - the maximum length of the decoded frame. A TooLongFrameException is thrown if the length of the frame exceeds this value.

LineBasedFrameDecoder

public LineBasedFrameDecoder(int maxLength,
                     boolean stripDelimiter,
                     boolean failFast)

Creates a new decoder.

Parameters:

maxLength - the maximum length of the decoded frame. A TooLongFrameException is thrown if the length of the frame exceeds this value.

stripDelimiter - whether the decoded frame should strip out the delimiter or not

failFast - If true, a TooLongFrameException is thrown as soon as the decoder notices the length of the frame will exceed maxFrameLength regardless of whether the entire frame has been read. If false, a TooLongFrameException is thrown after the entire frame that exceeds maxFrameLength has been read.

Method Detail

decode

protected Object decode(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
            Channel channel,
            ChannelBuffer buffer)
                 throws Exception

Description copied from class: FrameDecoder

Decodes the received packets so far into a frame. If an sub-class wants to extract a frame out of the buffer it should use the FrameDecoder.extractFrame(ChannelBuffer, int, int) method, to make optimizations easier later.

Specified by:

decode in class FrameDecoder

Parameters:

ctx - the context of this handler

channel - the current channel

buffer - the cumulative buffer of received packets so far. Note that the buffer might be empty, which means you should not make an assumption that the buffer contains at least one byte in your decoder implementation.

Returns:

the decoded frame if a full frame was received and decoded. null if there's not enough data in the buffer to decode a frame.

Throws:

Exception
