netty writeAndFlush

The writeAndFlush() method in Netty is used to write a message to the channel and immediately flush the message to the remote peer.

When writeAndFlush() is called, Netty writes the message to the outgoing buffer of the channel and then immediately flushes the buffer. This ensures that the message is sent to the remote peer as soon as possible.

The writeAndFlush() method returns a ChannelFuture object, which can be used to track the status of the write operation. The ChannelFuture object can be used to add listeners to the write operation, which can be notified when the write operation is complete or when an error occurs.

Here is an example usage of the writeAndFlush() method:

ChannelHandlerContext ctx = ...;
ByteBuf message = ...;

ChannelFuture future = ctx.writeAndFlush(message);
future.addListener(new ChannelFutureListener() {
    @Override
    public void operationComplete(ChannelFuture future) {
        if (future.isSuccess()) {
            System.out.println("Message sent successfully");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Failed to send message");
            future.cause().printStackTrace();
        }
    }
});
