io.netty.handler.codec.string

Class StringEncoder

java.lang.Object

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerAdapter

io.netty.channel.ChannelOperationHandlerAdapter

io.netty.channel.ChannelOutboundMessageHandlerAdapter<CharSequence>

io.netty.handler.codec.string.StringEncoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandler, io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerUtil.SingleOutboundMessageHandler<CharSequence>, io.netty.channel.ChannelOperationHandler, io.netty.channel.ChannelOutboundMessageHandler<CharSequence>

@ChannelHandler.Sharable
public class StringEncoder
extends io.netty.channel.ChannelOutboundMessageHandlerAdapter<CharSequence>

Encodes the requested String 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("stringEncoder", new StringEncoder(CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
 

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

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