Class ByteArrayDecoder

java.lang.Object

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerAdapter

io.netty.channel.ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter

io.netty.handler.codec.MessageToMessageDecoder<io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf>

io.netty.handler.codec.bytes.ByteArrayDecoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandler, io.netty.channel.ChannelInboundHandler

public class ByteArrayDecoder
extends MessageToMessageDecoder<io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf>

Decodes a received ByteBuf into an array of bytes. A typical setup for TCP/IP would be:

 ChannelPipeline pipeline = ...;

 // Decoders
 pipeline.addLast("frameDecoder",
                  new LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder(1048576, 0, 4, 0, 4));
 pipeline.addLast("bytesDecoder",
                  new ByteArrayDecoder());

 // Encoder
 pipeline.addLast("frameEncoder", new LengthFieldPrepender(4));
 pipeline.addLast("bytesEncoder", new ByteArrayEncoder());
 

and then you can use an array of bytes instead of a ByteBuf as a message:

 void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, byte[] bytes) {
     ...
 }

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<io.netty.buffer.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
