All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelInboundHandler

public class WebSocketServerProtocolHandler
extends MessageToMessageDecoder<WebSocketFrame>

This handler does all the heavy lifting for you to run a websocket server. It takes care of websocket handshaking as well as processing of control frames (Close, Ping, Pong). Text and Binary data frames are passed to the next handler in the pipeline (implemented by you) for processing. See io.netty.example.http.websocketx.html5.WebSocketServer for usage. The implementation of this handler assumes that you just want to run a websocket server and not process other types HTTP requests (like GET and POST). If you wish to support both HTTP requests and websockets in the one server, refer to the io.netty.example.http.websocketx.server.WebSocketServer example. To know once a handshake was done you can intercept the ChannelInboundHandler.userEventTriggered(ChannelHandlerContext, Object) and check if the event was of type WebSocketServerProtocolHandler.ServerHandshakeStateEvent.HANDSHAKE_COMPLETE.

decode

protected void decode(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
                      WebSocketFrame frame,

Description copied from class: MessageToMessageDecoder

Decode from one message to an other. This method will be called for each written message that can be handled by this encoder.

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this MessageToMessageDecoder belongs to

frame - the message to decode to an other one

out - the List to which decoded messages should be added

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - is thrown if an error occurs

exceptionCaught

                     throws java.lang.Exception

Description copied from class: ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter

Calls ChannelHandlerContext.fireExceptionCaught(Throwable) to forward to the next ChannelHandler in the ChannelPipeline. Sub-classes may override this method to change behavior.

Specified by:
