All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelOutboundHandler

@Sharable
public class ByteArrayEncoder
extends MessageToMessageEncoder<byte[]>

Encodes the requested array of bytes into a ByteBuf. 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 channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, byte[] bytes) {
     ...
 }

               throws Exception

Description copied from class: MessageToMessageEncoder

Encode from one message to an other. This method will be called for each written message that can be handled by this encoder.

Specified by:

encode in class MessageToMessageEncoder<byte[]>

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this MessageToMessageEncoder belongs to

msg - the message to encode to an other one

out - the List into which the encoded msg should be added needs to do some kind of aggregation

Throws:

Exception - is thrown if an error occurs
