Any codecs that access any shared resources need synchronization. Otherwise, you usually don't need any synchronization. As you see, TextLineEncoder and TextLineDecoder don't have any synchronization block, because the ProtocolCodecFilter acquires a lock before calling a decoder. Please note that ProtocolCodecFilter doesn't acquire a lock for encoders because most encoders don't need any synchronization.
