Class ConsumeToTerminatorDecodingState

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.mina.filter.codec.statemachine.ConsumeToTerminatorDecodingState

All Implemented Interfaces:

DecodingState

public abstract class ConsumeToTerminatorDecodingState
extends Object
implements DecodingState

DecodingState which consumes all bytes until a fixed (ASCII) character is reached. The terminator is skipped.

Constructor Summary

ConsumeToTerminatorDecodingState(byte terminator)
Creates a new instance using the specified terminator character.

Method Summary

DecodingState	decode(IoBuffer in, ProtocolDecoderOutput out) Invoked when data is available for this state.
protected abstract DecodingState	finishDecode(IoBuffer product, ProtocolDecoderOutput out) Invoked when this state has reached the terminator byte.
DecodingState	finishDecode(ProtocolDecoderOutput out) Invoked when the associated IoSession is closed.

Constructor Detail

ConsumeToTerminatorDecodingState

public ConsumeToTerminatorDecodingState(byte terminator)

Creates a new instance using the specified terminator character.

Parameters:

terminator - the terminator character.

Method Detail

decode

public DecodingState decode(IoBuffer in,
                            ProtocolDecoderOutput out)
                     throws Exception

Invoked when data is available for this state.

Specified by:

decode in interface DecodingState

Parameters:

in - the data to be decoded.

out - used to write decoded objects.

Returns:

the next state if a state transition was triggered (use this for loop transitions) or null if the state machine has reached its end.

Throws:

Exception - if the read data violated protocol specification.

finishDecode

public DecodingState finishDecode(ProtocolDecoderOutput out)
                           throws Exception

Invoked when the associated IoSession is closed. This method is useful when you deal with protocols which don't specify the length of a message (e.g. HTTP responses without content-length header). Implement this method to process the remaining data that DecodingState.decode(IoBuffer, ProtocolDecoderOutput) method didn't process completely.

Specified by:

finishDecode in interface DecodingState

Parameters:

out - used to write decoded objects.

Returns:

the next state if a state transition was triggered (use this for loop transitions) or null if the state machine has reached its end.

Throws:

Exception - if the read data violated protocol specification.

finishDecode

protected abstract DecodingState finishDecode(IoBuffer product,
                                              ProtocolDecoderOutput out)
                                       throws Exception

Invoked when this state has reached the terminator byte.

Parameters:

product - the read bytes not including the terminator.

out - the current ProtocolDecoderOutput used to write decoded messages.

Returns:

the next state if a state transition was triggered (use this for loop transitions) or null if the state machine has reached its end.

Throws:

Exception - if the read data violated protocol specification.
