Netty client fail to read response from non-netty server - java

I have a Tcp client that connect to a old mainframe (52 years) that send and receive request and response from it.
Here is core connection part of the my client ,
public class SimpleConnector {
private String carrier;
private SocketChannel socketChannel;
public static final byte END_OF_MESSAGE_BYTE = (byte) 0x2b;
public SimpleConnector(String carrier, InetSocketAddress inetSocketAddress) throws IOException {
this.carrier = this.carrier;
socketChannel = SocketChannel.open();
socketChannel.socket().connect(inetSocketAddress, 30000);
}
public void shutDown() throws IOException {
this.socketChannel.close();
}
//Send Request
public String sendRequest(String request) throws Exception {
final CharsetEncoder charsetEncoder = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1").newEncoder();
int requestLength = 12 + request.length() + 1;
ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(requestLength);
buffer.order(ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN);
buffer.putInt(requestLength);
buffer.put(charsetEncoder.encode(CharBuffer.wrap(carrier)));
buffer.put(charsetEncoder.encode(CharBuffer.wrap(request)));
buffer.put(END_OF_MESSAGE_BYTE);
buffer.flip();
socketChannel.write(buffer);
return readResponse();
}
//Read Response
protected String readResponse() throws Exception {
CharsetDecoder charsetDecoder = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1").newDecoder();
int responseHeaderLength = 12;
ByteBuffer responseHeaderBuf = ByteBuffer.allocate(responseHeaderLength);
responseHeaderBuf.order(ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN);
int bytesRead = 0;
do {
bytesRead = socketChannel.read(responseHeaderBuf);
} while (bytesRead!=-1 && responseHeaderBuf.position()<responseHeaderLength);
if (bytesRead==-1) {
throw new IOException(carrier + " : Remote connection closed unexpectedly");
}
responseHeaderBuf.flip();
int lengthField = responseHeaderBuf.getInt();
int responseLength = lengthField - responseHeaderLength;
responseHeaderBuf.clear();
ByteBuffer responseBuf = ByteBuffer.allocate(responseLength);
bytesRead = socketChannel.read(responseBuf);
if (bytesRead>responseBuf.limit() || bytesRead ==-1) {
throw new IOException(carrier + " : Remote connection closed unexpectedly");
}
responseBuf.flip();
if (responseBuf.get(responseBuf.limit()-1)==END_OF_MESSAGE_BYTE) {
responseBuf.limit(responseBuf.limit()-1);
}
responseBuf.clear();
String response = charsetDecoder.decode(responseBuf).toString();
return response;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
SimpleConnector simpleConnector = new SimpleConnector("carrier",new InetSocketAddress("localhost",9999));
String response=simpleConnector.sendRequest("Request");
System.out.println(response);
}
}
I'm trying to rewrite the following piece using Netty. By using following tutorial as reference.
http://tutorials.jenkov.com/netty/netty-tcp-client.html
https://www.baeldung.com/netty
https://github.com/deepanprabhu/netty-twoway-tcp-client-server
The problem I'm facing is I was able to connect to server but couldn't read or write from it . I'm using a ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter to do the read and write operations.
Here is my Netty Client
public class NettyClient {
int port;
Channel channel;
EventLoopGroup workGroup = new NioEventLoopGroup();
public NettyClient(int port){
this.port = port;
}
public ChannelFuture connectLoop() throws Exception {
try{
Bootstrap b = new Bootstrap();
b.group(workGroup);
b.channel(NioSocketChannel.class);
b.option(ChannelOption.SO_KEEPALIVE, true);
b.handler(new ChannelInitializer<SocketChannel>() {
protected void initChannel(SocketChannel socketChannel) throws Exception {
socketChannel.pipeline().addLast(new NettyClientHandler());
}
});
ChannelFuture channelFuture = b.connect("remote-ip", this.port).sync();
this.channel = channelFuture.channel();
return channelFuture;
}finally{
}
}
public void shutdown(){
workGroup.shutdownGracefully();
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
try {
NettyClient nettyClient = new NettyClient(12000);
ChannelFuture channelFuture = nettyClient.connectLoop();
System.out.println("Sleep 2sec");
Thread.sleep(2000);
String command ="username";
final Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
int length = 13 + command.length();
if (channelFuture.isSuccess()) {
ByteBuf byteBuf = Unpooled.buffer(1024);
byteBuf.writeInt(length);
byteBuf.writeCharSequence("Some Info",charset);
byteBuf.writeCharSequence(command,charset);
channelFuture.channel().writeAndFlush(byteBuf).addListener(new ListenerImpl());
}
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
System.out.println("Try Starting Server First !!");
}
finally {
}
}
private static final class ListenerImpl implements ChannelFutureListener{
public void operationComplete(ChannelFuture channelFuture) throws Exception {
if (channelFuture.isSuccess()){
System.out.println("Success"); //I can see success in Listener after write, but couldn't read response
}else {
System.out.println("Failed");
}
}
}
}
Handler
public class NettyClientHandler extends ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter {
#Override
public void channelReadComplete(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
super.channelReadComplete(ctx);
}
#Override
public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception {
System.out.println("NettyClientHandler : channelRead" );
ByteBuf byteBuf = (ByteBuf) msg;
String message = byteBuf.toString(Charset.defaultCharset());
System.out.println("Received Message : " + message);
}
#Override
public void channelActive(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
super.channelActive(ctx);
System.out.println("NettyClientHandler : channelActive" );
}
}
I Initially thought netty will work only with netty servers.But this answer clear my doubt about that
Does a Netty client work with a netty server only?
Can some one guide me, what I'm doing wrong ???

I think the problem is with your ClientHandler. you should writeAndFlush() in channelActive method invoked when a connection has been established between the tcp server and client. Please use the below updated code and see whether it fixes the problem.
#Sharable
public class NettyClientHandler extends SimpleChannelInboundHandler<ByteBuf> {
#Override
public void channelRead0(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf byteBuf) throws Exception {
String message = byteBuf.toString(Charset.defaultCharset());
System.out.println("Received Message : " + message);
}
#Override
public void channelActive(ChannelHandlerContext channelHandlerContext){
channelHandlerContext.writeAndFlush(Unpooled.copiedBuffer("Netty Rocks!", CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
}
}

Using Netty with ClamAV Instream

I have been stuggling with a configuration using Netty to stream bytes to a ClamAV service. I am running in an Apache Camel route.
Using Netty, I am unable to intercept the "INSTREAM size limit exceeded" message.
INSTREAM
It is mandatory to prefix this command with n or z.
Scan a stream of data. The stream is sent to clamd in chunks, after INSTREAM, on the same socket on which the command was sent. This avoids the overhead of establishing new TCP connections and problems with NAT. The format of the chunk is: '' where is the size of the following data in bytes expressed as a 4 byte unsigned integer in network byte order and is the actual chunk. Streaming is terminated by sending a zero-length chunk. Note: do not exceed StreamMaxLength as defined in clamd.conf, otherwise clamd will reply with INSTREAM size limit exceeded and close the connection.
Using a straight synchronous socket connection I have no issues. Can anyone point me in the right direction for how I should be using Netty to do this? Or should I just stick with a synchronous socket connection.

Netty client not receiving the complete data sent by the Server

I am designing a Netty based solution to transfer a file from Server to the Client over TCP. The client specifies the location of the file and then the server sends the file to the client.
Currently, the solution works fine for files with small size (< 2MB of data).
If the file to be sent is larger than ~5MB only partial data is sent and this varies (every time not the same amount of data is sent). Also, it is seen from the log that the Server has sent the complete amount of data (file).
The issue is the client is not receiving complete data sent by the server. What is wrong in my below code? or Can someone point me to right direction.
Below is my client, server and their handlers:
(For brevity I have listed only the methods that is of importance)
Client:
public class FileClient {
private final static int PORT = 8992;
private final static String HOST = "127.0.0.1";
public class ClientChannelInitializer extends ChannelInitializer<SocketChannel> {
private SslContext sslContext = null;
private String srcFile = "";
private String destFile = "";
public ClientChannelInitializer(String srcFile, String destFile, SslContext sslCtx) {
this.sslContext = sslCtx;
this.srcFile = srcFile;
this.destFile = destFile;
}
#Override
protected void initChannel(SocketChannel socketChannel) throws Exception {
ChannelPipeline pipeline = socketChannel.pipeline();
pipeline.addLast(sslContext.newHandler(socketChannel.alloc(), HOST, PORT));
pipeline.addLast("clientHandler", new FileClientHandler(srcFile, destFile));
}
}
private void startUp(String srcFile, String destFile) throws Exception {
SslContext sslCtx = SslContextBuilder.forClient().trustManager(InsecureTrustManagerFactory.INSTANCE).build();
EventLoopGroup workerGroup = new NioEventLoopGroup();
Bootstrap clientBootstrap = new Bootstrap();
clientBootstrap.group(workerGroup);
clientBootstrap.channel(NioSocketChannel.class);
clientBootstrap.option(ChannelOption.TCP_NODELAY, true);
clientBootstrap.handler(new LoggingHandler(LogLevel.INFO));
clientBootstrap.handler(new ClientChannelInitializer(srcFile, destFile, sslCtx));
Channel channel = clientBootstrap.connect(new InetSocketAddress(HOST, PORT)).sync().channel();
channel.closeFuture().sync();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String src = "/Users/home/src/test.mp4";
String dest = "/Users/home/dest/test.mp4";
new FileClient().startUp(src, dest);
}
}
ClientHandler:
public class FileClientHandler extends SimpleChannelInboundHandler<ByteBuf> {
private final String sourceFileName;
private OutputStream outputStream;
private Path destFilePath;
private byte[] buffer = new byte[0];
public FileClientHandler(String SrcFileName, String destFileName) {
this.sourceFileName = SrcFileName;
this.destFilePath = Paths.get(destFileName);
System.out.println("DestFilePath-" + destFilePath);
}
#Override
public void channelActive(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
ctx.writeAndFlush(ToByteBuff(this.sourceFileName));
}
#Override
protected void channelRead0(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf byteBuff) throws Exception {
if (this.outputStream == null) {
Files.createDirectories(this.destFilePath.getParent());
if (Files.exists(this.destFilePath)) {
Files.delete(this.destFilePath);
}
this.outputStream = Files.newOutputStream(this.destFilePath, StandardOpenOption.CREATE,
StandardOpenOption.APPEND);
}
int size = byteBuff.readableBytes();
if (size > this.buffer.length) {
this.buffer = new byte[size];
}
byteBuff.readBytes(this.buffer, 0, size);
this.outputStream.write(this.buffer, 0, size);
}
FileServer:
public class FileServer {
private final int PORT = 8992;
public void run() throws Exception {
SelfSignedCertificate ssc = new SelfSignedCertificate();
final SslContext sslCtx = SslContextBuilder.forServer(ssc.certificate(), ssc.privateKey()).build();
EventLoopGroup bossGroup = new NioEventLoopGroup();
EventLoopGroup workerGroup = new NioEventLoopGroup();
try {
ServerBootstrap b = new ServerBootstrap();
b.group(bossGroup, workerGroup).channel(NioServerSocketChannel.class).option(ChannelOption.SO_BACKLOG, 100)
.handler(new LoggingHandler(LogLevel.INFO)).childHandler(new ChannelInitializer<SocketChannel>() {
#Override
public void initChannel(SocketChannel ch) throws Exception {
ChannelPipeline pipeline = ch.pipeline();
pipeline.addLast(sslCtx.newHandler(ch.alloc()));
pipeline.addLast(new ChunkedWriteHandler());
pipeline.addLast(new FilServerFileHandler());
}
});
ChannelFuture f = b.bind(PORT).sync();
f.channel().closeFuture().sync();
} finally {
bossGroup.shutdownGracefully();
workerGroup.shutdownGracefully();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
new FileServer().run();
}
}
FileServerHandler:
public class FilServerFileHandler extends SimpleChannelInboundHandler<ByteBuf> {
#Override
protected void channelRead0(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf buff) throws Exception {
String filePathStr = byteBuf.toString(CharsetUtil.UTF_8);
File file = new File(filePathStr);
RandomAccessFile raf = null;
ChannelFuture sendFileFuture;
try {
raf = new RandomAccessFile(file, "r");
sendFileFuture = ctx.writeAndFlush(new ChunkedNioFile(raf.getChannel()),
ctx.newProgressivePromise());
sendFileFuture.addListener(new ChannelProgressiveFutureListener() {
public void operationComplete(ChannelProgressiveFuture future) throws Exception {
System.err.println("Transfer complete.");
}
public void operationProgressed(ChannelProgressiveFuture future, long progress, long total)
throws Exception {
if (total < 0) { // total unknown
System.err.println("Transfer progress: " + progress);
} else {
System.err.println("Transfer progress: " + progress + " / " + total);
}
}
});
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
} finally {
if (raf != null)
raf.close();
}
}
I have checked SO Q1 and SO Q2
Fixed your problem by a little tweak in FilServerFileHandler:
public class FileServerHandler extends SimpleChannelInboundHandler<ByteBuf> {
#Override
protected void channelRead0(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf buff) throws Exception {
String filePathStr = buff.toString(CharsetUtil.UTF_8);
File file = new File(filePathStr);
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(file, "r");
ChannelFuture sendFileFuture;
try {
sendFileFuture = ctx.writeAndFlush(new ChunkedNioFile(raf.getChannel()), ctx.newProgressivePromise());
sendFileFuture.addListener(new ChannelProgressiveFutureListener() {
public void operationComplete(ChannelProgressiveFuture future) throws Exception {
System.err.println("Transfer complete.");
if (raf != null) {
raf.close();
}
}
public void operationProgressed(ChannelProgressiveFuture future, long progress, long total)
throws Exception {
if (total < 0) { // total unknown
System.err.println("Transfer progress: " + progress);
} else {
System.err.println("Transfer progress: " + progress + " / " + total);
}
}
});
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I moved raf.close() into operationComplete method.
The partial transportation is caused by the closing of raf during write operation. Note that ctx.writeAndFlush is an async call, so the raf.close() in finally block might be triggered before the write operation complete, especially when the size of the file is large enough.

I also used wireshark to check If I am getting valid packets or not. Below is the screenshot of Wireshark dump.
Your problem is that you never decode the ByteBuf into an actual HttpRequest object which is why you get an error. You can't cast a ByteBuf to a FullHttpRequest object.
You should do something like this:
#Override
public void initChannel(Channel channel) throws Exception {
channel.pipeline().addLast(new HttpRequestDecoder()) // Decodes the ByteBuf into a HttpMessage and HttpContent (1)
.addLast(new HttpObjectAggregator(1048576)) // Aggregates the HttpMessage with its following HttpContent into a FullHttpRequest
.addLast(hostPacketHandler);
}
(1) If you also want to send HttpResponse use this handler HttpServerCodec which adds the HttpRequestDecoder and HttpResponseEncoder.

Message is not received by client in Netty when there are more number of messages sent to Server

I implemented a very basic EchoClient and EchoServer using the Netty package in JAVA. I am very much new to Netty . Below are the codes for my client , clientHandler , server and serverHandler.
My Client
public class EchoClient {
private final String host;
private final int port;
public EchoClient(String host, int port) {
this.host = host;
this.port = port;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
new EchoClient("127.0.0.1", 11235).start();
}
public void start() throws Exception {
EventLoopGroup group = new NioEventLoopGroup();
try {
Bootstrap b = new Bootstrap();
b.group(group).channel(NioSocketChannel.class)
.remoteAddress(new InetSocketAddress(host, port))
.handler(new ChannelInitializer<SocketChannel>() {
#Override
public void initChannel(SocketChannel ch) throws Exception {

ChannelFuture future = b.connect().sync();
future.channel().closeFuture().sync();

}
My ClientHandler
public class EchoClientHandler extends SimpleChannelInboundHandler<ByteBuf>{
#Override
public void channelActive(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) {
System.out.println("Connected");
int i = 0;
while (i < 1000) {
ctx.writeAndFlush(Unpooled.copiedBuffer("Netty MAY rock!\n", CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
i++;
}
}
#Override
protected void channelRead0(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf in) throws Exception {
System.out.println(
"Client received: " + in.toString(CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
}
#Override
public void exceptionCaught(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Throwable cause){
cause.printStackTrace();
ctx.close();
}
}
My Server
public class EchoServer {
private final int port;
public EchoServer(int port) {
this.port = port;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
new EchoServer(11235).start();
}
public void start() throws Exception {
EventLoopGroup group = new NioEventLoopGroup();
try {
ServerBootstrap b = new ServerBootstrap();
b.group(group)
.channel(NioServerSocketChannel.class)
.localAddress(new InetSocketAddress(port))
.childHandler(new ChannelInitializer<SocketChannel>() {
#Override
public void initChannel(SocketChannel ch) throws Exception {
System.out.println("New client connected: " + ch.localAddress());
ch.pipeline().addLast(new EchoServerHandler());
}
});
ChannelFuture f = b.bind().sync();
f.channel().closeFuture().sync();
} finally {
group.shutdownGracefully().sync();
}
}
}
My SeverHandler
public class EchoServerHandler extends ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter {
#Override
public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) {
ByteBuf in = (ByteBuf) msg;
System.out.println("Server received: " + n.toString(CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
ctx.write(in);
}
#Override
public void channelReadComplete(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) {
ctx.writeAndFlush(Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFER)
.addListener(ChannelFutureListener.CLOSE);
}
#Override
public void exceptionCaught(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Throwable cause) {
cause.printStackTrace();
ctx.close();
}
}
Now the problem is : when I write the while loop in the ClientHandler as i<10 or i<100 both the Server and Client can receive the sent messages but if I increase the iterations upto 1000 and 10000, the Sever is receiving message but not the client. Even the server is unable to receive 10000 messages(only some of the messages are received).
You close your server channel immediately after the first reading. Please remove .addListener(ChannelFutureListener.CLOSE) in channelReadComplete of your EchoServerHandler class.

Simple Netty Echo Server/Client not receiving messages

I'm trying to write a simple echo server with Netty. I'm reading Netty in Action MEAP v8 to get down some theory and learn the core basics of Netty. The client connects successfully, but no messages get through from the client. I am able to telnet a message to the server and receive the response, so I guess the issue is on the client, I just have no idea what is wrong, due to me being new to Netty.
Here is the client:
public class Client {
private final String host;
private final int port;
public Client(String host, int port) {
this.host = host;
this.port = port;
}
public void start() throws Exception {
EventLoopGroup group = new NioEventLoopGroup();
try {
Bootstrap b = new Bootstrap();
b.group(group).channel(NioSocketChannel.class)
.remoteAddress(new InetSocketAddress(host, port))
.handler(new ChannelInitializer<SocketChannel>() {
#Override
public void initChannel(SocketChannel ch) throws Exception {
ch.pipeline().addLast(new EchoClientHandler());
}
});
ChannelFuture f = b.connect().sync();
f.channel().closeFuture().sync();
} finally {
group.shutdownGracefully().sync();
}
}
public static void main (String [] args) throws Exception {
new Client("127.0.0.1", 11235).start();
}
}
And the Client handler: (I did try appending '\r\n' to the sent message, but that did not make a difference, which I found here: Netty Client to Server message)
#Sharable
public class EchoClientHandler extends SimpleChannelInboundHandler<ByteBuf> {
public void channelActive(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) {
System.out.println("Connected");
ctx.write(Unpooled.copiedBuffer("Netty MAY rock!", CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
}
protected void channelRead0(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf in) throws Exception {
System.out.println(
"Client received: " + in.toString(CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
}
public void exceptionCaught(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Throwable cause) {
cause.printStackTrace();
ctx.close();
}
}
The server:
public class EchoServer {
private final int port;
public EchoServer(int port) {
this.port = port;
}
public void start() throws Exception {
EventLoopGroup group = new NioEventLoopGroup();
try {
ServerBootstrap b = new ServerBootstrap();
b.group(group)
.channel(NioServerSocketChannel.class)
.localAddress(new InetSocketAddress(port))
.childHandler(new ChannelInitializer<SocketChannel>() {
#Override
public void initChannel(SocketChannel ch) throws Exception {
System.out.println("New client connected: " + ch.localAddress());
ch.pipeline().addLast(new EchoServerHandler());
}
});
ChannelFuture f = b.bind().sync();
f.channel().closeFuture().sync();
} finally {
group.shutdownGracefully().sync();
}
}
public static void main (String [] args) throws Exception {
new EchoServer(11235).start();
}
}
The server handler:
#Sharable
public class EchoServerHandler extends ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter {
public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) {
ByteBuf in = (ByteBuf) msg;
System.out.println(
"Server received: " + in.toString(CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
ctx.write(in);
}
public void channelReadComplete(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) {
ctx.writeAndFlush(Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFER)
.addListener(ChannelFutureListener.CLOSE);
}
public void exceptionCaught(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Throwable cause) {
cause.printStackTrace();
ctx.close();
}
}
It must be something small I'm missing, so any help will preserve my fleeting sanity and will be much appreciated!
Instead of write use writeAndFlush in your ClientHandler:
public void channelActive(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) {
System.out.println("Connected");
ctx.writeAndFlush(Unpooled.copiedBuffer("Netty MAY rock!", CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
}
