All Implemented Interfaces:

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandler, io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerUtil.SingleInboundMessageHandler<io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf>, io.netty.channel.ChannelInboundMessageHandler<io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf>, io.netty.channel.ChannelStateHandler

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