Defines a common interface for configuring either client or server HTTP message readers and writers. This is used as follows:

HTTP message readers and writers are divided into 3 categories that are ordered as follows:

  1. Typed readers and writers that support specific types, e.g. byte[], String.
  2. Object readers and writers, e.g. JSON, XML.
  3. Catch-all readers or writers, e.g. String with any media type.

Typed and object readers are further sub-divided and ordered as follows:

  1. Default HTTP reader and writer registrations.
  2. Custom readers and writers.

Configure a limit on the number of bytes that can be buffered whenever the input stream needs to be aggregated. This can be a result of decoding to a single DataBuffer, ByteBuffer, byte[], Resource, String, etc. It can also occur when splitting the input stream, e.g. delimited text, in which case the limit applies to data buffered between delimiters.

By default this is not set, in which case individual codec defaults apply. All codecs are limited to 256K by default.

Params:
  • byteCount – the max number of bytes to buffer, or -1 for unlimited
