Decodes a received ByteBuf into a Google Protocol Buffers Message and MessageLite. Please note that this decoder must be used with a proper ByteToMessageDecoder such as ProtobufVarint32FrameDecoder or LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder if you are using a stream-based transport such as TCP/IP. A typical setup for TCP/IP would be:
ChannelPipeline pipeline = ...; // Decoders pipeline.addLast("frameDecoder", new LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder(1048576, 0, 4, 0, 4)); pipeline.addLast("protobufDecoder", new ProtobufDecoder(MyMessage.getDefaultInstance())); // Encoder pipeline.addLast("frameEncoder", new LengthFieldPrepender(4)); pipeline.addLast("protobufEncoder", new ProtobufEncoder()); 
and then you can use a MyMessage instead of a ByteBuf as a message:
void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) { MyMessage req = (MyMessage) msg; MyMessage res = MyMessage.newBuilder().setText( "Did you say '" + req.getText() + "'?").build(); ch.write(res); }
