Method Detail

decodeMulticastAnnouncement

MulticastAnnouncement decodeMulticastAnnouncement(ByteBuffer buf,
                                                  InvocationConstraints constraints)
                                           throws IOException

Decodes the multicast announcement data contained in the given buffer in a manner that satisfies the specified absolute constraints, returning a MulticastAnnouncement instance that contains the decoded data. null constraints are considered equivalent to empty constraints. All the specified constraints are checked before this method returns.

Parameters:

buf - a buffer containing the packet data to decode. The multicast announcement data must begin at position zero of buf.

constraints - the constraints to apply when decoding the data, or null

Returns:

the decoded multicast announcement data

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs in interpreting the data

UnsupportedConstraintException - if unable to satisfy the specified constraints

SecurityException - if the given constraints cannot be satisfied due to insufficient caller permissions

NullPointerException - if buf is null
