io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerAdapter

io.netty.channel.ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter

io.netty.handler.codec.MessageToMessageEncoder<CharSequence>

io.netty.handler.codec.string.LineEncoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelOutboundHandler

@ChannelHandler.Sharable
public class LineEncoder
extends MessageToMessageEncoder<CharSequence>

Apply a line separator to the requested String and encode it into a ByteBuf. A typical setup for a text-based line protocol in a TCP/IP socket would be:

 ChannelPipeline pipeline = ...;

 // Decoders
 pipeline.addLast("frameDecoder", new LineBasedFrameDecoder(80));
 pipeline.addLast("stringDecoder", new StringDecoder(CharsetUtil.UTF_8));

 // Encoder
 pipeline.addLast("lineEncoder", new LineEncoder(LineSeparator.UNIX, CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
 

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

 void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, String msg) {
     ch.write("Did you say '" + msg + "'?");
 }

Method Detail

encode

protected void encode(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
                      CharSequence msg,
                      List<Object> out)
               throws Exception

Description copied from class: MessageToMessageEncoder

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

Specified by:

encode in class MessageToMessageEncoder<CharSequence>

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this MessageToMessageEncoder belongs to

msg - the message to encode to an other one

out - the List into which the encoded msg should be added needs to do some kind of aggregation

Throws:

Exception - is thrown if an error occurs
