All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelUpstreamHandler

Deprecated. This decoder has a known critical bug which fails to decode and raises a random exception in some circumstances. Avoid to use it whenever you can. The only workaround is to replace CompatibleObjectEncoder, CompatibleObjectDecoder, ObjectInputStream, and ObjectOutputStream with ObjectEncoder, ObjectDecoder, ObjectEncoderOutputStream, and ObjectDecoderInputStream respectively. This workaround requires both a client and a server to be modified.

@Deprecated
public class CompatibleObjectDecoder
extends ReplayingDecoder<org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.serialization.CompatibleObjectDecoderState>

A decoder which deserializes the received ChannelBuffers into Java objects (interoperability version).

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

However, this decoder might perform worse than ObjectDecoder if the serialized object is big and complex. Also, it does not limit the maximum size of the object, and consequently your application might face the risk of DoS attack. Please use ObjectEncoder and ObjectDecoder if you are not required to keep the interoperability with the standard object streams.

Constructor Detail

CompatibleObjectDecoder

public CompatibleObjectDecoder()

Deprecated.

Creates a new decoder.

Method Detail

newObjectInputStream

protected ObjectInputStream newObjectInputStream(InputStream in)
                                          throws Exception

Deprecated.

Creates a new ObjectInputStream which wraps the specified InputStream. Override this method to use a subclass of the ObjectInputStream.

Throws:

Exception

decode

protected Object decode(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
                        Channel channel,
                        ChannelBuffer buffer,
                        org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.serialization.CompatibleObjectDecoderState state)
                 throws Exception

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: ReplayingDecoder

Decodes the received packets so far into a frame.

Specified by:

decode in class ReplayingDecoder<org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.serialization.CompatibleObjectDecoderState>

Parameters:

ctx - the context of this handler

channel - the current channel

buffer - the cumulative buffer of received packets so far. Note that the buffer might be empty, which means you should not make an assumption that the buffer contains at least one byte in your decoder implementation.

state - the current decoder state (null if unused)

Returns:

the decoded frame

Throws:

Exception

decodeLast

protected Object decodeLast(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
                            Channel channel,
                            ChannelBuffer buffer,
                            org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.serialization.CompatibleObjectDecoderState state)
                     throws Exception

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: ReplayingDecoder

Decodes the received data so far into a frame when the channel is disconnected.

Overrides:

decodeLast in class ReplayingDecoder<org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.serialization.CompatibleObjectDecoderState>

Parameters:

ctx - the context of this handler

channel - the current channel

buffer - the cumulative buffer of received packets so far. Note that the buffer might be empty, which means you should not make an assumption that the buffer contains at least one byte in your decoder implementation.

state - the current decoder state (null if unused)

Returns:

the decoded frame

Throws:

Exception
