Class Channels

java.lang.Object
  org.jboss.netty.channel.Channels

public class Channels
extends Object

A helper class which provides various convenience methods related with Channel, ChannelHandler, and ChannelPipeline.

Factory methods

It is always recommended to use the factory methods provided by Channels rather than calling the constructor of the implementation types.

• pipeline()
• pipeline(ChannelPipeline)
• pipelineFactory(ChannelPipeline)
• succeededFuture(Channel)
• failedFuture(Channel, Throwable)

Upstream and downstream event generation

Various event generation methods are provided to simplify the generation of upstream events and downstream events. It is always recommended to use the event generation methods provided by Channels rather than calling ChannelHandlerContext.sendUpstream(ChannelEvent) or ChannelHandlerContext.sendDownstream(ChannelEvent) by yourself.
