object message sent with Netty can't be decoded correctly












0














I try to send object message PingMessage with netty. Add ObjectEncoder and ObjectDecoder in channel pipeline. Client has sent packet successfully, but server can't decode the message. ObjectDecoder#decode() just returns null. Netty version is 4.1.28.Final.



PingMessage



public class PingMessage implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private int flag = 0xff3e;
private String ping = "ping";

public int getFlag() {
return flag;
}

public void setFlag(int flag) {
this.flag = flag;
}

public String getPing() {
return ping;
}

public void setPing(String ping) {
this.ping = ping;
}
}


client



public class HeartbeatInitializer extends ChannelInitializer<Channel> {

protected void initChannel(Channel ch) throws Exception {
ChannelPipeline pipeline = ch.pipeline();
pipeline.addLast(new ObjectEncoder());
pipeline.addLast(new ObjectDecoder(Integer.MAX_VALUE, ClassResolvers.weakCachingResolver(PongMessage.class.getClassLoader())));
pipeline.addLast(new IdleStateHandler(BusinessConstant.READER_IDLE_SECONDS, BusinessConstant.WRITER_IDLE_SECONDS, 0));
pipeline.addLast(new HeartbeatServerHandler());
pipeline.addLast(new ClientHandler());
}
}

public class HeartbeatServerHandler extends ChannelDuplexHandler {
private static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HeartbeatServerHandler.class);

@Override
public void userEventTriggered(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object evt) throws Exception {
if (evt instanceof IdleStateEvent) {
IdleStateEvent idleState = (IdleStateEvent)evt;
if (idleState.state() == IdleState.READER_IDLE) {
} else if (idleState.state() == IdleState.WRITER_IDLE) {
try {
ChannelFuture future = ctx.writeAndFlush(new PingMessage()).sync();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}


server



public class HeartbeatInitializer extends ChannelInitializer<Channel> {

protected void initChannel(Channel ch) throws Exception {
ChannelPipeline pipeline = ch.pipeline();
pipeline.addLast(new ObjectEncoder());
pipeline.addLast(new ObjectDecoder(Integer.MAX_VALUE, ClassResolvers.weakCachingResolver(this.class.getClassLoader())));

}
}

public class HeartbeatServerHandler extends ChannelDuplexHandler {

@Override
public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) {
if (msg instanceof PingMessage) {
logger.info("received ping");
return;
}
}
}


netty source code debug info



AbstractChannelHandlerContext#invokeChannelRead()



((ChannelInboundHandler) handler()).channelRead(this, msg);


the msg variable is




UnpooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf(ridx: 0, widx: 61, cap: 1024)




ObjectDecoder#decode() just return null



super class of ObjectDecoder is LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder. LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder#decode() return null



// LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder#decode()

int frameLengthInt = (int) frameLength;
if (in.readableBytes() < frameLengthInt) {
return null; // get executed and return null
}

  • We will need more infos but just let me say that ChannelFuture future = ctx.writeAndFlush(new PingMessage()).sync(); will not work (and should even produce an exception) as you block the EventLoop. You should never call sync* or await* in the EventLoop

  • @NormanMaurer I've debugged the client code and no exception found. I use wireshark to capture packets and find "ping" packet which is 61 bytes. But the server just can't decode bytes to PingMessage. How can I provide more infomation? I don't post code about PongMessage(from server to client), which can be decoded well by client. Does Netty support both directions message processing?

  • @NormanMaurer I add sync() for debug purpose to assure that messages written without exception.

  • 1. You didn't add a LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder in your ChannelInitializer but mentioned it in your question. Why? 2. I tried your code and for me everything woks fine. Maybe you imported something wrong since all your classes have the same name.

    Are you sure you have the same version of the serializable class on both class-path. ?
