All Implemented Interfaces:

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandler, io.netty.channel.ChannelInboundHandler

public class FixedLengthFrameDecoder
extends io.netty.handler.codec.ByteToMessageDecoder

A decoder that splits the received ByteBufs by the fixed number of bytes. For example, if you received the following four fragmented packets:

 +---+----+------+----+
 | A | BC | DEFG | HI |
 +---+----+------+----+
 

A FixedLengthFrameDecoder(3) will decode them into the following three packets with the fixed length:

 +-----+-----+-----+
 | ABC | DEF | GHI |
 +-----+-----+-----+

Exception

decode

protected Object decode(io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
                        io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf in)

Create a frame out of the ByteBuf and return it.

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this ByteToMessageDecoder belongs to

in - the ByteBuf from which to read data

Returns:

frame the ByteBuf which represent the frame or null if no frame could be created.
