org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.serialization.CompatibleObjectEncoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelDownstreamHandler, ChannelHandler

public class CompatibleObjectEncoder
extends OneToOneEncoder

An encoder which serializes a Java object into a ChannelBuffer (interoperability version).

This encoder is interoperable with the standard Java object streams such as ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream.

Constructor Detail

CompatibleObjectEncoder

public CompatibleObjectEncoder()

Creates a new instance with the reset interval of 16.

CompatibleObjectEncoder

public CompatibleObjectEncoder(int resetInterval)

Creates a new instance.

Parameters:

resetInterval - the number of objects between ObjectOutputStream.reset(). 0 will disable resetting the stream, but the remote peer will be at the risk of getting OutOfMemoryError in the long term.

Method Detail

newObjectOutputStream

protected ObjectOutputStream newObjectOutputStream(OutputStream out)
                                            throws Exception

Creates a new ObjectOutputStream which wraps the specified OutputStream. Override this method to use a subclass of the ObjectOutputStream.

Throws:

Exception

encode

protected Object encode(ChannelHandlerContext context,
                        Channel channel,
                        Object msg)
                 throws Exception

Description copied from class: OneToOneEncoder

Transforms the specified message into another message and return the transformed message. Note that you can not return null, unlike you can in OneToOneDecoder.decode(ChannelHandlerContext, Channel, Object); you must return something, at least ChannelBuffers.EMPTY_BUFFER.

Specified by:

encode in class OneToOneEncoder

Throws:

Exception
