public class LineBasedFrameDecoder
extends ByteToMessageDecoder

A decoder that splits the received ByteBufs on line endings.

Both "\n" and "\r\n" are handled.

The byte stream is expected to be in UTF-8 character encoding or ASCII. The current implementation uses direct byte to char cast and then compares that char to a few low range ASCII characters like '\n' or '\r'. UTF-8 is not using low range [0..0x7F] byte values for multibyte codepoint representations therefore fully supported by this implementation.

For a more general delimiter-based decoder, see DelimiterBasedFrameDecoder.

Constructor Details

LineBasedFrameDecoder

public LineBasedFrameDecoder(int maxLength)

Creates a new decoder.

Parameters:

maxLength - the maximum length of the decoded frame. A TooLongFrameException is thrown if the length of the frame exceeds this value.

LineBasedFrameDecoder

public LineBasedFrameDecoder(int maxLength,
 boolean stripDelimiter,
 boolean failFast)

Creates a new decoder.

Parameters:

maxLength - the maximum length of the decoded frame. A TooLongFrameException is thrown if the length of the frame exceeds this value.

stripDelimiter - whether the decoded frame should strip out the delimiter or not

failFast - If true, a TooLongFrameException is thrown as soon as the decoder notices the length of the frame will exceed maxFrameLength regardless of whether the entire frame has been read. If false, a TooLongFrameException is thrown after the entire frame that exceeds maxFrameLength has been read.

Method Details

decode

protected final void decode(io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
 io.netty.buffer.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(io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
 io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf buffer)
                 throws Exception

Create a frame out of the ByteBuf and return it.

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this ByteToMessageDecoder belongs to

buffer - 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
