ByteBuffer release

[Zohar Amir <zo...@gmail.com>]

Hello,
I use a CumulativeProtocolDecoder. In the doDecode method I have:

...
contentBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(contentLength);
contentBuffer.put(contentBytes);
contentBuffer.flip();
Message myMessage = new Message(contentBuffer);
out.write(myMessage);


My question is do I have to call the ByteBuffer's release method?

Thanks,
Zohar.

It depends on what you do with Message class. As the JavaDoc says, if the
contentBuffer is written back to the IoService, then it will be released
when messageSent is invoked.  Otherwise, you have to release it manually.
