Class ProtobufEncoderNano

java.lang.Object

io.netty.channel.ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter

io.netty.handler.codec.MessageToMessageEncoder<com.google.protobuf.nano.MessageNano>

io.netty.handler.codec.protobuf.ProtobufEncoderNano

All Implemented Interfaces:

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandler, io.netty.channel.ChannelOutboundHandler

@ChannelHandler.Sharable
public class ProtobufEncoderNano
extends MessageToMessageEncoder<com.google.protobuf.nano.MessageNano>

Encodes the requested Google Protocol Buffers MessageNano into a ByteBuf. 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: 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<com.google.protobuf.nano.MessageNano>

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
