All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelInboundHandler

public class FixedLengthFrameDecoder
extends ByteToMessageDecoder

A decoder that splits the received ByteBufs by the fixed number of bytes. For example, if you received the following four fragmented packets:

+---+----+------+----+
| A | BC | DEFG | HI |
+---+----+------+----+

A FixedLengthFrameDecoder(3) will decode them into the following three packets with the fixed length:

+-----+-----+-----+
| ABC | DEF | GHI |
+-----+-----+-----+

 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

decode

protected Object decode(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
 ByteBuf in)
                 throws Exception

Create a frame out of the ByteBuf and return it.

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this ByteToMessageDecoder belongs to

in - the ByteBuf from which to read data

Returns:

frame the ByteBuf which represent the frame or null if no frame could be created.

Throws:

Exception
