Method Detail

hasBytePipeline

boolean hasBytePipeline()

Returns true if this stream processor has unprocessed bytes. Generally these bytes are appended before the incoming bytes before processing.

Partial bytes are stored by stream processor and XMPPPacketReader takes these bytes and appends these bytes before incoming bytes.We can possibly do this append operation in stream processor where it belongs naturally, but it would involve a massive array copy operation.

Returns:

boolean true or false

getBytePipeline

byte[] getBytePipeline()

Returns bytes which were left unprocessed in previous run. These bytes could not be decoded into a character because they did not complete a char encoding; in other words, these bytes were part of all the bytes required to represent a character.

Returns:

byte byte array

flushBytePipeline

void flushBytePipeline()

Flushes partial bytes maintained by this stream processor
