io.netty.handler.codec.ByteToMessageDecoder

io.netty.handler.codec.protobuf.ProtobufVarint32FrameDecoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelInboundHandler

public class ProtobufVarint32FrameDecoder
extends ByteToMessageDecoder

A decoder that splits the received ByteBufs dynamically by the value of the Google Protocol Buffers Base 128 Varints integer length field in the message. For example:

BEFORE DECODE (302 bytes)       AFTER DECODE (300 bytes)
+--------+---------------+      +---------------+
| Length | Protobuf Data |----->| Protobuf Data |
| 0xAC02 |  (300 bytes)  |      |  (300 bytes)  |
+--------+---------------+      +---------------+

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
protected int	actualReadableBytes()	Returns the actual number of readable bytes in the internal cumulative buffer of this decoder.
protected void	callDecode(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf in, List<Object> out)	Called once data should be decoded from the given ByteBuf.
void	channelInactive(ChannelHandlerContext ctx)	Calls ChannelHandlerContext.fireChannelInactive() to forward to the next ChannelInboundHandler in the ChannelPipeline.
void	channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object input)	Calls ChannelHandlerContext.fireChannelRead(Object) to forward to the next ChannelInboundHandler in the ChannelPipeline.
void	channelReadComplete(ChannelHandlerContext ctx)	Calls ChannelHandlerContext.fireChannelReadComplete() to forward to the next ChannelInboundHandler in the ChannelPipeline.
protected void	decodeLast(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf in, List<Object> out)	Is called one last time when the ChannelHandlerContext goes in-active.
protected final void	discardSomeReadBytes()
final void	handlerRemoved(ChannelHandlerContext ctx)	Do nothing by default, sub-classes may override this method.
protected void	handlerRemoved0(ChannelHandlerContext ctx)	Gets called after the ByteToMessageDecoder was removed from the actual context and it doesn't handle events anymore.
protected ByteBuf	internalBuffer()	Returns the internal cumulative buffer of this decoder.
boolean	isSingleDecode()	If true then only one message is decoded on each ByteToMessageDecoder.channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext, Object) call.
void	setCumulator(ByteToMessageDecoder.Cumulator cumulator)	Set the ByteToMessageDecoder.Cumulator to use for cumulate the received ByteBufs.
void	setDiscardAfterReads(int discardAfterReads)	Set the number of reads after which ByteBuf.discardSomeReadBytes() are called and so free up memory.
void	setSingleDecode(boolean singleDecode)	If set then only one message is decoded on each ByteToMessageDecoder.channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext, Object) call.
void	userEventTriggered(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object evt)	Calls ChannelHandlerContext.fireUserEventTriggered(Object) to forward to the next ChannelInboundHandler in the ChannelPipeline.

Method Details

decode

protected void decode(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
 ByteBuf in,
 List<Object> out)
               throws Exception

Description copied from class: ByteToMessageDecoder

Decode the from one ByteBuf to an other. This method will be called till either the input ByteBuf has nothing to read when return from this method or till nothing was read from the input ByteBuf.

Specified by:

decode in class ByteToMessageDecoder

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this ByteToMessageDecoder belongs to

in - the ByteBuf from which to read data

out - the List to which decoded messages should be added

Throws:

Exception - is thrown if an error occurs
