Hi @all,
i?m new to mina so a big hello to all of you ;)
So i have also a question. I?m searching for a more detailed
protocollcodecfilter tutorial. The one which is online is good for
starting, but what do i have to do if i have more telegrams then
one in each direction? I have some startbytes which indicates me
which kind of telegramm will follow. Could anybody give me a hint
how i could solve this?
Do you mean that you have a first byte in your message that defines
the message's type ?
Yepp (2 Bytes)
So it should not be a problem. Depending on those two bytes, you will
decode the following bytes knowing what they will be transformed to.
There are two important things to understand :
1) the bytes you are receiving *may* contain more than one message
(once decoded)
2) the bytes you are receiving *may* not be enough to decode a full
message (this is due to the possible fragmentation on TCP)
Once you understand that, decoding the bytes is pretty easy.
To deal with (1), you have to loop on the bytes until you can't decode
any more message
To deal with (2) is a bit more complex : you have to know the size of
the bytes needed to create a full message, or the bytes must have a
terminator (a special byte or set of bytes that close the message).
In any case, you can use the CumulativeProtocolDecoder to deal with
those two scenarii.
Again, the Image decoder exaple given on the web site is probably the
page to read.
Hi Emmanuel,
thanks for your tips. I already mentioned them. But where is struggle
with, is the point, how and when do i differentiate the telegrams.
The point is, every telegram starts with these 2 bytes and ends with 2
bytes. The protocol is very rudimentary, it will always come just one
telegram until the other side has confirmed the receiving. So do i have
more then one protocolcodecfilter, one for every telegram or do i have
one protocolcodecfilter where i have to wait for the bytes and then
first read out the first 2 bytes to check which telegram was sent and
then build my objects with the rest of the telegram.
I´m just struggling how to use mina with more then one kind of telegram
in each direction. In the tutorial was the incoming data casted to the
object, because there was only this one telegram which represents this
one kind of object. But what do i have to do if i have more telegrams
with more kinds of objects.
Is there may be a tutorial available, which extends the Image decoder
tutorial?
Thank you very much
Björn
