Java: Converting String to and from ByteBuffer and associated problems
I am using Java NIO for my socket connections, and my protocol is text based, so I need to be able to convert Strings to ByteBuffers before writing them to the SocketChannel, and convert the incoming ByteBuffers back to Strings. Currently, I am using this code: public static Charset charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8"); public static CharsetEncoder encoder = charset.newEncoder(); public static CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder(); public static ByteBuffer str_to_bb(String msg){ try{ return encoder.encode(CharBuffer.wrap(msg)); }catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();} return null; }
