Thanks. This is a wrong message. It should be at level INFO at best. What happens is that when the client receives some data from the server (whatever server it can be), it will decode those data and produce LDAP messages. So far, so good. The thing is that we may have received more than one LDAP message in a simple socket read, and the decoder detect that. Here are the two methods that handle the decoding : 1) the main loop, decoding LDAP message : List<Message> decodedMessages = new ArrayList<Message>(); ByteBuffer buf = in.buf(); decode( buf, messageContainer, decodedMessages ); for ( Message message : decodedMessages ) { out.write( message ); } It calls the decode() message with a ByteBuffer that might contain more than one message, and accumulate the messages in a list that will be processed later : private void decode( ByteBuffer buffer, LdapMessageContainer<MessageDecorator<? extends Message>> messageContainer, List<Message> decodedMessages ) throws DecoderException { while ( buffer.hasRemaining() ) { try { asn1Decoder.decode( buffer, messageContainer ); if ( messageContainer.getState() == TLVStateEnum.PDU_DECODED ) { Message message = messageContainer.getMessage(); decodedMessages.add( message ); messageContainer.clean(); } } } } The Asn1Decoder process one single message, and when done, if there is still some data in the buffer, generates some Warning : public void decode( ByteBuffer stream, Asn1Container container ) throws DecoderException { boolean hasRemaining = stream.hasRemaining(); ... while ( hasRemaining ) { ... case PDU_DECODED: // We have to deal with the case where there are // more bytes in the buffer, but the PDU has been decoded. LOG.warn( I18n.err( I18n.ERR_00043_REMAINING_BYTES_FOR_DECODED_PDU ) ); hasRemaining = false; break; } } Bottom line, I think I will move the Warning to a Debug. -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com
