Releasing buffers when sending Post messages

Gianluca

Hello,

i am implementing posting data in my java application and to work on it i was looking at the post examples for ETA ValueAdd/ETA API on RTSDK github, for example https://github.com/Refinitiv/Real-Time-SDK/blob/master/Java/Eta/Applications/Examples/src/main/java/com/refinitiv/eta/valueadd/examples/consumer/PostHandler.java

In those example on the sendOnstreamPostMsg/sendOffstreamPostMsg call, a TransportBuffer is obtained:
TransportBuffer msgBuf = chnl.getBuffer(TRANSPORT_BUFFER_SIZE_MSG_POST, false, errorInfo);
This is passed to the encode* calls which will encode the messages and then the message is sent with
chnl.submit(msgBuf, submitOptions, errorInfo)

In all those situations, i don't see anywhere calls to ReactorChannel.releaseBuffer in case of errors/unused buffers.
The documentation (ETA Java ValueAdd Developers Guide) in 6.7.2(.2) about writing data shows multiple times to call releaseBuffers in case the submit() doesn't go well or the buffer is unused.

I am missing something from the examples or this is an error?

To add on this, what it would expect from the examples (by reading on the documentation) is that, for example, in the function like the one i copied below from them, in case of failure of any of encodePostWithMsg or chnl.submit, instead of just returning it should have called chnl.releaseBuffer(msgBuf, errorInfo).

private int sendOffstreamPostMsg(ReactorChannel chnl, boolean postWithMsg, ReactorErrorInfo errorInfo)

{

  // get a buffer for the item request

  TransportBuffer msgBuf = chnl.getBuffer(TRANSPORT_BUFFER_SIZE_DATA_POST, false, errorInfo);

  if (msgBuf == null)

    return CodecReturnCodes.FAILURE;

  int ret = encodePostWithMsg(chnl, msgBuf);

  if (ret != CodecReturnCodes.SUCCESS)

    return ret;



  // send post message

  ret = chnl.submit(msgBuf, submitOptions, errorInfo);

  if (ret != TransportReturnCodes.SUCCESS)

    return CodecReturnCodes.FAILURE;




  offstreamPostSent = true;

  return CodecReturnCodes.SUCCESS;
}
