All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelInboundHandler

@ChannelHandler.Sharable
public class ProtobufDecoderNano
extends MessageToMessageDecoder<ByteBuf>

Decodes a received ByteBuf into a Google Protocol Buffers MessageNano. Please note that this decoder must be used with a proper ByteToMessageDecoder such as LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder if you are using a stream-based transport such as TCP/IP. A typical setup for TCP/IP would be:

 ChannelPipeline pipeline = ...;

 // Decoders
 pipeline.addLast("frameDecoder",
                  new LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder(1048576, 0, 4, 0, 4));
 pipeline.addLast("protobufDecoder",
                  new ProtobufDecoderNano(MyMessage.getDefaultInstance()));

 // Encoder
 pipeline.addLast("frameEncoder", new LengthFieldPrepender(4));
 pipeline.addLast("protobufEncoder", new ProtobufEncoderNano());
 

and then you can use a MyMessage instead of a ByteBuf as a message:

 void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) {
     MyMessage req = (MyMessage) msg;
     MyMessage res = MyMessage.newBuilder().setText(
                               "Did you say '" + req.getText() + "'?").build();
     ch.write(res);
 }

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 decoder.

Specified by:

decode in class MessageToMessageDecoder<ByteBuf>

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this MessageToMessageDecoder belongs to

msg - the message to decode to an other one

out - the List to which decoded messages should be added

Throws:

Exception - is thrown if an error occurs
