<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<br>
<br>
So here’s my problem – I need to buffer all my incoming data in memory until
the connection is closed and then create a java.io.InputStream that represents
all that data that I can then pass on. How do you suggest doing that?<br>
<br>
I looked at using a CompositeChannelBuffer, but I can’t continually add
ChannelBuffers as they come in. With CompositeChannelBuffer (and
ChannelBuffers.wrappedBuffer(…)), you have to have all the ChannelBuffers up
front (there is no “addChannelBuffer() method on CompositeChannelBuffer). Once
I have all the data, I see that I can create a ChannelBufferInputStream.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So my code should proceed as follows:<br>
<br>
1. Connection is made with server<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. File is downloaded asynchronously<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> a. As the file is downloaded in chunks,
put each chunk (ChannelBuffer) into a CompositeChannelBuffer or some other
container<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3. When file is done or the connection closes, create an
InputStream from the buffered data<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>4. Process the InputStream normally<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My main problem is figuring out 2a. I could use some help
since I’m still learning the netty API.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
