Method Detail

setPrefixLength

public void setPrefixLength(int prefixLength)

Sets the number of bytes used by the length prefix

Parameters:

prefixLength - the length of the length prefix (1, 2, or 4)

getPrefixLength

public int getPrefixLength()

Gets the length of the length prefix (1, 2, or 4)

Returns:

length of the length prefix

setMaxDataLength

public void setMaxDataLength(int maxDataLength)

Sets the maximum number of bytes allowed for encoding a single String (including the prefix)

The encoder will throw a IllegalArgumentException when more bytes are needed to encode a String value. The default value is DEFAULT_MAX_DATA_LENGTH.

Parameters:

maxDataLength - maximum number of bytes allowed for encoding a single String

getMaxDataLength

public int getMaxDataLength()

Gets the maximum number of bytes allowed for encoding a single String *

Returns:

maximum number of bytes allowed for encoding a single String (prefix included)

encode

public void encode(IoSession session,
          Object message,
          ProtocolEncoderOutput out)
            throws Exception

Description copied from interface: ProtocolEncoder

Encodes higher-level message objects into binary or protocol-specific data. MINA invokes ProtocolEncoder.encode(IoSession, Object, ProtocolEncoderOutput) method with message which is popped from the session write queue, and then the encoder implementation puts encoded messages (typically IoBuffers) into ProtocolEncoderOutput.

Throws:

Exception - if the message violated protocol specification
