Recovering information from ByteBuffer once a session is closed

[Bogdan Jarcau <dr...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am working on a protocol (TCP) that utilizes messages separated by an End
Of Message character (in this case \n). I use the decodable() method to
check if the message is complete and once it detects an EOM character it
will return true, decode() is called, and the messsage will be extracted
from the ByteBuffer. Now, assuming that I receive a message and the
connection dies out before it receives the EOM character, how could I
retrieve/salvage the data that still exists in the ByteBuffer? I could
technically store the data locally in a variable, but is there a better way
to access that data?
I am using Mina 1.01, and am using MessageDecoderAdapter.

Thank you,

Bogdan

You can override finishDecode() method.

HTH,
