  • Constructor Details

    • WebSocketMessage

      public WebSocketMessage(WebSocketMessage.Type type, DataBuffer payload)
      Constructor for a WebSocketMessage.

      See static factory methods in WebSocketSession or alternatively use WebSocketSession.bufferFactory() to create the payload and then invoke this constructor.

    • WebSocketMessage

      public WebSocketMessage(WebSocketMessage.Type type, DataBuffer payload, @Nullable Object nativeMessage)
      Constructor for an inbound message with access to the underlying message.
      Parameters:
      type - the type of WebSocket message
      payload - the message content
      nativeMessage - the message from the API of the underlying WebSocket library, if applicable.
      Since:
      5.3

  • Method Details

    • getType

      public WebSocketMessage.Type getType()
      Return the message type (text, binary, etc).

    • getPayload

      public DataBuffer getPayload()
      Return the message payload.

    • getNativeMessage

      @Nullable public <T> T getNativeMessage()
      Return the message from the API of the underlying WebSocket library. This is applicable for inbound messages only and when the underlying message has additional fields other than the content. Currently this is the case for Reactor Netty only.
      Type Parameters:
      T - the type to cast the underlying message to
      Returns:
      the underlying message, or null

    • getPayloadAsText

      public String getPayloadAsText()
      A variant of getPayloadAsText(Charset) that uses UTF-8 for decoding the raw content to text.

    • getPayloadAsText

      public String getPayloadAsText(Charset charset)
      A shortcut for decoding the raw content of the message to text with the given character encoding. This is useful for text WebSocket messages, or otherwise when the payload is expected to contain text.
      Parameters:
      charset - the character encoding

      5.0.5

    • retain

      public WebSocketMessage retain()
      Retain the data buffer for the message payload, which is useful on runtimes (for example, Netty) with pooled buffers. A shortcut for: 
       DataBuffer payload = message.getPayload();
 DataBufferUtils.retain(payload);
      See Also:

    • release

      public void release()
      Release the payload DataBuffer which is useful on runtimes (for example, Netty) with pooled buffers such as Netty. A shortcut for: 
       DataBuffer payload = message.getPayload();
 DataBufferUtils.release(payload);
