 * the length of the {@link String}.
 *
 *  *     public class StringToIntegerDecoder extends
 *             {@link MessageToMessageDecoder}<{@link String}> {

 * Be aware that you need to call {@link ReferenceCounted#retain()} on messages that are just passed through if they
 * are of type {@link ReferenceCounted}. This is needed as the {@link MessageToMessageDecoder} will call
 * {@link ReferenceCounted#release()} on decoded messages.
