Interface ProtocolDecoder

All Known Implementing Classes:

CumulativeProtocolDecoder

public interface ProtocolDecoder

Decodes binary or protocol-specific data into higher-level message objects. MINA invokes decode(ProtocolSession, ByteBuffer, ProtocolDecoderOutput) method with read data, and then the decoder implementation puts decoded messages into ProtocolDecoderOutput by calling ProtocolDecoderOutput.write(Object).

Please refer to TextLineDecoder example.
