Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRMINA-655:
-------------------------------------------

Thinking a bit more about the proposal :

As you know, you have no guarantee that a terminated message will be 
transmitted in one single block. What if the received bytes just get decoded 
and the regexp is partially matched ? 

For instance using the LINE_TERM regexp, what if we receive \r\n in two 
messages ? I guess that you will match LINE_TERM twice, and potentially 
consider that you have two lines to deal with, when it's just an artefact, as 
the sender really wanted to terminate its message with a '\r\n'

This is where it gets tricky ...

> Add a more general purpose text based decoder

> There are many text based protocols who have messages that are terminated by 
> a delimiter other than an end of line. A protocol decoder that is more 
> generic than TextLineDecoder would be a nice addition. It should also be easy 
> to extend so developers can focus on coverting text messages to domain 
> objects and not on converting  and parsing IoBuffers.
