This changes the behavior of the ChannelPipeline.remove(..) and ChannelPipeline.replace(..) methods in that way
that after invocation it is not possible anymore to access any data in the inbound or outbound buffer. This is
because it empty it now to prevent side-effects. If a user want to preserve the content and forward it to the
next handler in the pipeline it is adviced to use one of the new methods which where introduced.
- ChannelPipeline.removeAndForward(..)
- ChannelPipeline.replaceAndForward(..)
- Borrow SLF4J API which is the best of the best
- InternalLoggerFactory now automatically detects the logging framework
using static class loading. It tries SLF4J, Log4J, and then falls back
to java.util.logging.
- Remove OsgiLogger because it is very likely that OSGi container
already provides a bridge for existing logging frameworks
- Remove JBossLogger because the latest JBossLogger implementation seems
to implement SLF4J binding
- Upgrade SLF4J to 1.7.2
- Remove tests for the untestable logging frameworks
- Remove TestAny
- Rename message types for clarity
- HttpMessage -> FullHttpMessage
- HttpHeader -> HttpMessage
- HttpRequest -> FullHttpRequest
- HttpResponse -> FulllHttpResponse
- HttpRequestHeader -> HttpRequest
- HttpResponseHeader -> HttpResponse
- HttpContent now extends ByteBufHolder; no more content() method
- Make HttpHeaders abstract, make its header access methods public, and
add DefaultHttpHeaders
- Header accessor methods in HttpMessage and LastHttpContent are
replaced with HttpMessage.headers() and
LastHttpContent.trailingHeaders(). Both methods return HttpHeaders.
- Remove setters wherever possible and remove 'get' prefix
- Instead of calling setContent(), a user can either specify the content
when constructing a message or write content into the buffer.
(e.g. m.content().writeBytes(...))
- Overall cleanup & fixes
This commit tries to simplify the handling of Http easier and more consistent. This has a effect of many channges. Including:
- HttpMessage was renamed to HttpHeader and the setContent and getContent methods were removed
- HttpChunk was renamed to HttpContent
- HttpChunkTrailer was renamed to LastHttpContent
- HttpCodecUtil was merged into HttpHeaders
Now a "complete" Http message (request or response) contains of the following parts:
- HttpHeader (HttpRequestHeader or HttpResponseHeader)
- 0 - n HttpContent objects which contains parts of the content of the message
- 1 LastHttpContent which marks the end of the message and contains the remaining data of the content
I also changed the sematic of HttpResponse and HttpRequest, these now represent a "complete" message which contains the HttpHeader and the HttpLastContent, and so can be used to eeasily send requests. The HttpMessageAggregator was renamed to HttpObjectAggregator and produce HttpResponse / HttpRequest message.
This pull request adds two new handler methods: discardInboundReadBytes(ctx) and discardOutboundReadBytes(ctx) to ChannelInboundByteHandler and ChannelOutboundByteHandler respectively. They are called between every inboundBufferUpdated() and flush() respectively. Their default implementation is to call discardSomeReadBytes() on their buffers and a user can override this behavior easily. For example, ReplayingDecoder.discardInboundReadBytes() looks like the following:
@Override
public void discardInboundReadBytes(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
ByteBuf in = ctx.inboundByteBuffer();
final int oldReaderIndex = in.readerIndex();
super.discardInboundReadBytes(ctx);
final int newReaderIndex = in.readerIndex();
checkpoint -= oldReaderIndex - newReaderIndex;
}
If a handler, which has its own buffer index variable, extends ReplayingDecoder or ByteToMessageDecoder, the handler can also override discardInboundReadBytes() and adjust its index variable accordingly.
- Also fixed a incorrect port of SpdySessionHandler
- Previously, it closed the connection too early when sending a GOAWAY frame
- After this fix, SpdySessionHandlerTest now passes again without the previous fix
- Fixes#831
This commit ensures the following events are never triggered as a direct
invocation if they are triggered via ChannelPipeline.fire*():
- channelInactive
- channelUnregistered
- exceptionCaught
This commit also fixes the following issues surfaced by this fix:
- Embedded channel implementations run scheduled tasks too early
- SpdySessionHandlerTest tries to generate inbound data even after the
channel is closed.
- AioSocketChannel enters into an infinite loop on I/O error.
This commit introduces a new API for ByteBuf allocation which fixes
issue #643 along with refactoring of ByteBuf for simplicity and better
performance. (see #62)
A user can configure the ByteBufAllocator of a Channel via
ChannelOption.ALLOCATOR or ChannelConfig.get/setAllocator(). The
default allocator is currently UnpooledByteBufAllocator.HEAP_BY_DEFAULT.
To allocate a buffer, do not use Unpooled anymore. do the following:
ctx.alloc().buffer(...); // allocator chooses the buffer type.
ctx.alloc().heapBuffer(...);
ctx.alloc().directBuffer(...);
To deallocate a buffer, use the unsafe free() operation:
((UnsafeByteBuf) buf).free();
The following is the list of the relevant changes:
- Add ChannelInboundHandler.freeInboundBuffer() and
ChannelOutboundHandler.freeOutboundBuffer() to let a user free the
buffer he or she allocated. ChannelHandler adapter classes implement
is already, so most users won't need to call free() by themselves.
freeIn/OutboundBuffer() methods are invoked when a Channel is closed
and deregistered.
- All ByteBuf by contract must implement UnsafeByteBuf. To access an
unsafe operation: ((UnsafeByteBuf) buf).internalNioBuffer()
- Replace WrappedByteBuf and ByteBuf.Unsafe with UnsafeByteBuf to
simplify overall class hierarchy and to avoid unnecesary instantiation
of Unsafe instances on an unsafe operation.
- Remove buffer reference counting which is confusing
- Instantiate SwappedByteBuf lazily to avoid instantiation cost
- Rename ChannelFutureFactory to ChannelPropertyAccess and move common
methods between Channel and ChannelHandlerContext there. Also made it
package-private to hide it from a user.
- Remove unused unsafe operations such as newBuffer()
- Add DetectionUtil.canFreeDirectBuffer() so that an allocator decides
which buffer type to use safely
- Remove HttpRequestEncoder after handshaking is complete
- Fix a bug in the WebSocket client example where it sends a frame even before handshake is complete
* Update toString() of all HttpObject implementations
* HttpMessageDecoder does not raise an exception but sets decoderResult property of the decoded message.
* HttpMessageDecoder discards inbound traffic once decoding fails, by adding a new state called BAD_MESSAGE.
* Add a test case that tests this behavior.
* Add DecodeResult that represents the result of decoding a message
* Add HttpObject which HttpMessage and HttpChunk extend.
** HttpObject has a property 'decodeResult'
Channel handlers above the HttpEncoder may delay the repsonse being
written to the socket. We need to wait for the response to complete
before upgrading the pipeline.
- Replace ByteBufferBackedByteBuf with DirectByteBuf
- Make DirectByteBuf and HeapByteBuf dynamic
- Remove DynamicByteBuf
- Replace Unpooled.dynamicBuffer() with Unpooled.buffer() and
directBuffer()
- Remove ByteBufFactory (will be replaced with ByteBufPool later)
- Add ByteBuf.Unsafe (might change in the future)
- Removed VoidEnum because a user can now specify Void instead
- AIO: Prefer discardReadBytes to clear
- AIO: Fixed a potential bug where notifyFlushFutures() is not called
if flush() was requested with no outbound data
- Add Channel.metadata() and remove Channel.bufferType()
- DefaultPipeline automatically redirects disconnect() request to
close() if the channel has no disconnect operation
- Remove unnecessary disconnect() implementations
- Rename ZlibEncoder/Decoder to JZlibEncoder/Decoder
- Define a new ZlibEncoder/Decoder class
- Add JdkZlibEncoder
- All JZlib* and JdkZlib* extends ZlibEncoder/Decoder
- Add ZlibCodecFactory and use it everywhere
- Removed all methods that requires ByteOrder as a parameter
from Unpooled (formerly ByteBufs/ChannelBuffers)
- Instead, a user calls order(ByteOrder) to get a little endian
version of the user's buffer
- This gives less overwhelming number of methods in Unpooled.
- ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler does not have a type
parameter anymore.
- User should implement ChannelInboundMessageHandler or
ChannelOutboundMessageHandler.
- Add MessageBuf which replaces java.util.Queue
- Add ChannelBuf which is common type of ByteBuf and ChannelBuf
- ChannelBuffers was renamed to ByteBufs
- Add MessageBufs
- All these changes are going to replace ChannelBufferHolder.
- ChannelBuffer gives a perception that it's a buffer of a
channel, but channel's buffer is now a byte buffer or a message
buffer. Therefore letting it be as is is going to be confusing.
- In computing, 'stream' means both byte stream and message stream,
which is confusing.
- Also, we were already mixing stream and byte in some places and
it's better use the terms consistently.
(e.g. inboundByteBuffer & inbound stream)
- Some tests like SpdySessionHandlerTest accesses outbound buffer
even before the outbound buffer is initialized by
AbstractEmbeddedChannel's subclasses, leading to NPE at <init>.
To fix this problem, subclasses now pass the outbound buffer as
a constructor parameter to AbstractEmbeddedChannel.
- LoggingHandler now only logs state and operations
- StreamLoggingHandler and MessageLoggingHandler log the buffer content
- Added ChannelOperationHandlerAdapter
- Used by WriteTimeoutHandler
- Extracted some handler methods from ChannelInboundHandler into
ChannelStateHandler
- Extracted some handler methods from ChannelOutboundHandler into
ChannelOperationHandler
- Moved exceptionCaught and userEventTriggered are now in
ChannelHandler
- Channel(Inbound|Outbound)HandlerContext is merged into
ChannelHandlerContext
- ChannelHandlerContext adds direct access methods for inboud and
outbound buffers
- The use of ChannelBufferHolder is minimal now.
- Before: inbound().byteBuffer()
- After: inboundByteBuffer()
- Simpler and better performance
- Bypass buffer types were removed because it just does not work at all
with the thread model.
- All handlers that uses a bypass buffer are broken. Will fix soon.
- CombinedHandlerAdapter does not make sense anymore either because
there are four handler interfaces to consider and often the two
handlers will implement the same handler interface such as
ChannelStateHandler. Thinking of better ways to provide this feature
- AbstractCodecEmbedder does not throw an exception immediately anymore.
It stores the caught exceptions in the product queue and throws them
on pool() or peek().
- The handler you specify with initializer() is actually simply added
to the pipeline and that's all. It's ChannelInitializer which does
additional work. For example, a user can specify just a single
handler with initializer() and it will still work. This is especially
common for Bootstrap, so I renamed initializer to handler, which makes
more sense.
- Removed ones are: IP filer and HTTP multipart codec
- Needs closer code review and polishing
- Sorry. I'll add them back in the next alpha releases
- SSL handler and ChunkedWriteHandler also need more work, but
I really want to make them part of the first alpha because they
are used pretty often by users.
... just like we do with byte arrays. toByteBuffer() and
toByteBuffers() had an indeterministic behavior and thus it could not
tell when the returned NIO buffer is shared or not. nioBuffer() always
returns a view buffer of the Netty buffer. The only case where
hasNioBuffer() returns false and nioBuffer() fails is the
CompositeChannelBuffer, which is not very commonly used and *slow*.
- Add EventExecutor and make EventLoop extend it
- Add SingleThreadEventExecutor and MultithreadEventExecutor
- Add EventExecutor's default implementation
- Fixed an API design problem where there is no way to get non-bypass
buffer of desired type
- Really attempt to create a queue to determine LTQ can be initialized
in runtime, and cache the result
- Remove unnecessary Class<T> parameter in createQueue()
- Remove unused createQueue(Collection)
- Exception in this case makes a user less confusing
- To reduce the overhead of filling the stack trace,
NoSuchBufferException has a public pre-constructed instance.
- This is necessary because codec framework sometimes need to support
both type of outbound buffers.
- Fixed a bug where SpdyFrameEncoder did not handle ping messages
- Reduced memory copy in codec embedder (EmbeddedChannel)
- Renamed ChannelBootstrap to Bootstrap
- Renamed ServerChannelBootstrap to ServerBootstrap
- Moved bootstrap classes to io.netty.bootstrap as before
- Moved unfoldAndAdd() to a separate utility class
- Fixed a bug in unfoldAndAdd() where it did not handle ChannelBuffer
correctly
- Previous API did not support the pipeline which contains multiple
MessageToStreamEncoders because there was no way to find the closest
outbound byte buffer. Now you always get the correct buffer even if
the handler that provides the buffer is placed distantly.
For example:
Channel -> MsgAEncoder -> MsgBEncoder -> MsgCEncoder
Msg(A|B|C)Encoder will all have access to the channel's outbound
byte buffer. Previously, it was simply impossible.
- Improved ChannelBufferHolder.toString()
