Hi,
I have MessageBodyReader and MessageBodyWriter classes that can handle Protobuf message types.
I then wanted to use ChunkedOutput so that I could send a set of Protobuf objects to a client (a long running process that
periodically sends back intermediate results).
I changed my writer and reader to write/read the message length prior to the message itself.
One issue I have is with ChunkedParser - the first time it is invoked, my 'readChunk' method can:
1) read the length of the message (int - 4 bytes)
2) the message Itself into a byte array
I can return a byte array (containing both) so that 'readChunk' passes my MessageBodyReader the correct
number of bytes.
This works fine for the first message, but I do now know what byte delimiter to use as the ChunkedOutput delimiter can't be null.
I can't use string like \r\n as these may be contained within the protobuf message binary in theory.
Has anyone any ideas or done something similar?
Regards,
Mike
