[jira] Commented: (DIRMINA-242) ByteBuffer.getString(ByteBuffer buf, int fieldSize, CharsetDecoder decoder, boolean stopOnZero )

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-242?page=comments#action_12427236 ] 
            
Pavel Zdenek commented on DIRMINA-242:
--------------------------------------

The title should be
ByteBuffer.getString(int fieldSize, CharsetDecoder decoder, boolean stopOnZero )
that is, a method of byte buffer, not the signature of my helper method :) Sorry.

> The method would read an ASCIIZ string off the buffer as the existing method without added parameter.
> If stopOnZero is false, it would continue blindly reading the stream up to the required fieldSize.
> So far MINA has no support for reading fixed (small) size strings. This is common for protocols constructed at devices with limited resources (i.e. network attached microcontrollers) and above the mandatory ending zero may be whatever garbage left from previous memory usage.
> My temporary implementation follows, to get the idea.
> It also solves the problem with getString behavior when reading ASCIIZ at the end of buffer (apparently fixed in dev 0.9) 
>     public static String getString(ByteBuffer buf, int fieldSize, CharsetDecoder decoder, boolean stopOnZero )
>     throws CharacterCodingException
>     {
>     	if( fieldSize == 0) fieldSize = buf.remaining(); // convenience "0 ~ till the end"
>     	int origLimit = buf.limit();
>     	int posStrEnd = 0;
>     	buf.mark(); // beginning of string
>     	boolean foundZero = false;
>         while(buf.hasRemaining() && (fieldSize-- > 0) )
>         {
>             if( (buf.get() == 0) && !foundZero ) 
>             {
>             	foundZero = true;
>             	posStrEnd = buf.position()-1;
>             	if( stopOnZero ) break;

>     	int reachedPos = buf.position(); // later must return here
>     	buf.reset(); // position to string begin
