/**
* Decodes the received {@link ChannelBuffer}s into a meaningful frame object.
*
* In a stream-based transport such as TCP/IP, packets can be fragmented and
* reassembled during transmission even in a LAN environment. For example,
* let us assume you have received three packets:
*
* +-----+-----+-----+
* | ABC | DEF | GHI |
* +-----+-----+-----+
*
* because of the packet fragmentation, a server can receive them like the
* following:
*
* +----+-------+---+---+
* | AB | CDEFG | H | I |
* +----+-------+---+---+
*
*
* {@link FrameDecoder} helps you defrag the received packets into one or more
* meaningful frames that could be easily understood by the
* application logic. In case of the example above, your {@link FrameDecoder}
* implementation could defrag the received packets like the following:
*
* +-----+-----+-----+
* | ABC | DEF | GHI |
* +-----+-----+-----+
*
*
* The following code shows an example handler which decodes a frame whose
* first 4 bytes header represents the length of the frame, excluding the
* header.
*
* MESSAGE FORMAT
* ==============
*
* Offset: 0 4 (Length + 4)
* +--------+------------------------+
* Fields: | Length | Actual message content |
* +--------+------------------------+
*
* DECODER IMPLEMENTATION
* ======================
*
* public class IntegerHeaderFrameDecoder extends {@link FrameDecoder} {
*
* {@code @Override}
* protected Object decode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx,
* {@link Channel channel},
* {@link ChannelBuffer} buf) throws Exception {
*
* // Make sure if the length field was received.
* if (buf.readableBytes() < 4) {
* // The length field was not received yet - return null.
* // This method will be invoked again when more packets are
* // received and appended to the buffer.
* return null;
* }
*
* // The length field is in the buffer.
*
* // Mark the current buffer position before reading the length field
* // because the whole frame might not be in the buffer yet.
* // We will reset the buffer position to the marked position if
* // there's not enough bytes in the buffer.
* buf.markReaderIndex();
*
* // Read the length field.
* int length = buf.readInt();
*
* // Make sure if there's enough bytes in the buffer.
* if (buf.readableBytes() < length) {
* // The whole bytes were not received yet - return null.
* // This method will be invoked again when more packets are
* // received and appended to the buffer.
*
* // Reset to the marked position to read the length field again
* // next time.
* buf.resetReaderIndex();
*
* return null;
* }
*
* // There's enough bytes in the buffer. Read it.
* {@link ChannelBuffer} frame = buf.readBytes(length);
*
* // Successfully decoded a frame. Return the decoded frame.
* return frame;
* }
* }
*
*
* Returning a POJO rather than a {@link ChannelBuffer}
*
* Please note that you can return an object of a different type than
* {@link ChannelBuffer} in your {@code decode()} and {@code decodeLast()}
* implementation. For example, you could return a
* POJO so that the next
* {@link ChannelUpstreamHandler} receives a {@link MessageEvent} which
* contains a POJO rather than a {@link ChannelBuffer}.
*
*
Replacing a decoder with another decoder in a pipeline
*
* If you are going to write a protocol multiplexer, you will probably want to
* replace a {@link FrameDecoder} (protocol detector) with another
* {@link FrameDecoder} or {@link ReplayingDecoder} (actual protocol decoder).
* It is not possible to achieve this simply by calling
* {@link ChannelPipeline#replace(ChannelHandler, String, ChannelHandler)}, but
* some additional steps are required:
*
* public class FirstDecoder extends {@link FrameDecoder} {
*
* public FirstDecoder() {
* super(true); // Enable unfold
* }
*
* {@code @Override}
* protected Object decode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx,
* {@link Channel} channel,
* {@link ChannelBuffer} buf) {
* ...
* // Decode the first message
* Object firstMessage = ...;
*
* // Add the second decoder
* ctx.getPipeline().addLast("second", new SecondDecoder());
*
* // Remove the first decoder (me)
* ctx.getPipeline().remove(this);
*
* if (buf.readable()) {
* // Hand off the remaining data to the second decoder
* return new Object[] { firstMessage, buf.readBytes(buf.readableBytes()) };
* } else {
* // Nothing to hand off
* return firstMessage;
* }
* }
* }
*
