Method Detail

reply

Buffer reply(PeerAddress sender,
           Buffer requestBuffer,
           boolean complete)
             throws Exception

Replies to a direct message from a peer. This reply is based on ChannelBuffer, which is typically used for those cases where a custom encoder/decoder is necessary.

Parameters:

sender - The sender to from which the request came

requestBuffer - The incoming buffer

complete - Indication if the request buffer is complete

Returns:

A ChannelBuffer with the result. If null is returned, then the message will contain NOT_FOUND, if the same buffer as requestBuffer is sent back, the message will contain OK, otherwise the payload will be set.

Throws:

Exception - In case of an exception, a stacktrack will be printed to System.err and a log output will be generated
