Package io.netty5.handler.flow

Class FlowControlHandler

java.lang.Object

io.netty5.handler.flow.FlowControlHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

io.netty5.channel.ChannelHandler

public class FlowControlHandler
extends Object
implements io.netty5.channel.ChannelHandler

The FlowControlHandler ensures that only one message per read() is sent downstream. Classes such as ByteToMessageDecoder or MessageToByteEncoder are free to emit as many events as they like for any given input. A channel's auto reading configuration doesn't usually apply in these scenarios. This is causing problems in downstream ChannelHandlers that would like to hold subsequent events while they're processing one event. It's a common problem with the HttpObjectDecoder that will very often fire an HttpRequest that is immediately followed by a LastHttpContent event.

{@code
 ChannelPipeline pipeline = ...;

 pipeline.addLast(new HttpServerCodec());
 pipeline.addLast(new FlowControlHandler());

 pipeline.addLast(new MyExampleHandler());

 class MyExampleHandler extends ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter {
