I have searched far and wide for an answer on this before resorting to
bothering anyone...
but I can't quite work this out on my own.
We're using MINA classes to implement serial and socket connections to
external devices and decode the data streams from these devices. I'm
trying to use VmPipe classes to create a test mode that fakes an external
device, using data files to define specific device behaviors.
So far it's working fairly well, with one pretty major glitch. The
server-side (the fake hardware device) of the VmPipe is receiving
byte-by-byte data from the client-side (our normal device monitor) and can
deal with it accordingly.
Problem is in the other direction. The server-side uses
"session.write(b)" to write a byte at a time to the stream (at properly
faked baud rate even). But instead of those accumulated bytes feeding
into our MessageDecoderAdapter descendants as incoming data would from the
hardware, they are getting picked up by our IoHandlerAdapter descendant as
individual Byte objects (messageReceived() method).
How would I get these bytes into the proper decode chain to fully test the
low-level device data decoding (as per the DemuxingProtocolCodecFactory
definition from the monitor under test)???
Thanks in advance!!
