Problem in LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder

[Johnny Luong]

You probably should read the documentation for the class and/or follow 
the examples but here goes:

The length field is composed of two bytes and how those two bytes are 
encoded affect how long of a string the decoder is expected.  So if you 
want a length of 12, you need to be encoding it as described in the docs 
from your client.
