Constructor Detail

PrefixedStringCodecFactory

public PrefixedStringCodecFactory(Charset charset)

Creates a new PrefixedStringCodecFactory instance

Parameters:

charset - The Charset to use for encoding or decoding

PrefixedStringCodecFactory

public PrefixedStringCodecFactory()

Creates a new PrefixedStringCodecFactory instance

Method Detail

getEncoderMaxDataLength

public int getEncoderMaxDataLength()

Returns the allowed maximum size of an encoded string. If the size of the encoded String exceeds this value, the encoder will throw a IllegalArgumentException. The default value is PrefixedStringEncoder.DEFAULT_MAX_DATA_LENGTH.

This method does the same job as PrefixedStringEncoder.setMaxDataLength(int).

Returns:

the allowed maximum size of an encoded string.

setEncoderMaxDataLength

public void setEncoderMaxDataLength(int maxDataLength)

Sets the allowed maximum size of an encoded String. If the size of the encoded String exceeds this value, the encoder will throw a IllegalArgumentException. The default value is PrefixedStringEncoder.DEFAULT_MAX_DATA_LENGTH.

This method does the same job as PrefixedStringEncoder.getMaxDataLength().

Parameters:

maxDataLength - allowed maximum size of an encoded String.

getDecoderMaxDataLength

public int getDecoderMaxDataLength()

Returns:

the allowed maximum size of a decoded string.

This method does the same job as PrefixedStringEncoder.setMaxDataLength(int).

See Also:

setDecoderMaxDataLength(int)

setDecoderMaxDataLength

public void setDecoderMaxDataLength(int maxDataLength)

Sets the maximum allowed value specified as data length in the decoded data

Useful for preventing an OutOfMemory attack by the peer. The decoder will throw a BufferDataException when data length specified in the incoming data is greater than maxDataLength The default value is PrefixedStringDecoder.DEFAULT_MAX_DATA_LENGTH.

This method does the same job as PrefixedStringDecoder.setMaxDataLength(int).

Parameters:

maxDataLength - maximum allowed value specified as data length in the incoming data

setDecoderPrefixLength

public void setDecoderPrefixLength(int prefixLength)

Sets the length of the prefix used by the decoder

Parameters:

prefixLength - the length of the length prefix (1, 2, or 4)

getDecoderPrefixLength

public int getDecoderPrefixLength()

Gets the length of the length prefix (1, 2, or 4) used by the decoder

Returns:

length of the length prefix

setEncoderPrefixLength

public void setEncoderPrefixLength(int prefixLength)

Sets the length of the prefix used by the encoder

Parameters:

prefixLength - the length of the length prefix (1, 2, or 4)

getEncoderPrefixLength

public int getEncoderPrefixLength()

Gets the length of the length prefix (1, 2, or 4) used by the encoder

Returns:

length of the length prefix

getEncoder

public ProtocolEncoder getEncoder(IoSession session)
                           throws Exception

Returns a new (or reusable) instance of ProtocolEncoder which encodes message objects into binary or protocol-specific data.

Specified by:

getEncoder in interface ProtocolCodecFactory

Parameters:

session - The current session

Returns:

The encoder instance

Throws:

Exception - If an error occurred while retrieving the encoder

getDecoder

public ProtocolDecoder getDecoder(IoSession session)
                           throws Exception

Returns a new (or reusable) instance of ProtocolDecoder which decodes binary or protocol-specific data into message objects.

Specified by:

getDecoder in interface ProtocolCodecFactory

Parameters:

session - The current session

Returns:

The decoder instance

Throws:

Exception - If an error occurred while retrieving the decoder
