public interface Decoder
The Decoder interface holds member interfaces that define how a developer can provide the web socket container a way web socket messages into developer defined custom objects. The websocket implementation creates a new instance of the decoder per endpoint instance per connection. The lifecycle of the Decoder instance is governed by the container calls to the init(jakarta.websocket.EndpointConfig) and destroy() methods.

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    default void
    This method is called when the decoder is about to be removed from service in order that any resources the decoder used may be closed gracefully.
    default void
    This method is called with the endpoint configuration object of the endpoint this decoder is intended for when it is about to be brought into service.

    • init

      default void init(EndpointConfig config)
      This method is called with the endpoint configuration object of the endpoint this decoder is intended for when it is about to be brought into service.
      Parameters:
      config - the endpoint configuration object when being brought into service
    • destroy

      default void destroy()
      This method is called when the decoder is about to be removed from service in order that any resources the decoder used may be closed gracefully.
