websocket : Decoding the data

Lets say client send Employee data in json format, and ServerEndpoint uses a decoder to decode the json data, and convert it to Employee object.

public class Employee {
    String firstName;
    String lastName;
    int age;
    
    Employee(String firstName, String lastName, int age){
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.lastName = lastName;
        this.age = age;
    }
}

import com.google.gson.Gson;
import javax.websocket.Decoder;
import javax.websocket.EndpointConfig;
 
public class MessageDecoder implements Decoder.Text<Employee> {
    @Override
    public Employee decode(String s) {
        System.out.println("Incoming JSON " + s);
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        Employee emp = gson.fromJson(s, Employee.class);
        return emp;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean willDecode(String s) {
        return (s != null);
    }

    @Override
    public void init(EndpointConfig endpointConfig) {
        // do nothing.
    }

    @Override
    public void destroy() {
        // do nothing.
    }
}

import java.io.IOException;
import javax.websocket.OnClose;
import javax.websocket.OnMessage;
import javax.websocket.OnOpen;
import javax.websocket.RemoteEndpoint;
import javax.websocket.Session;
import javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpoint;

@ServerEndpoint(value = "/endpoint", 
decoders = { MessageDecoder.class})
public class EmployeeProcess {
String s;
    
    /* Notified when a new web socket session is open. */
    @OnOpen
    public void onOpen(Session session){
        System.out.println(session.getId() + " has opened a connection"); 
        try {
            session.getBasicRemote().sendText("Connection Established");
        } catch (IOException ex) {
        }
    }
 
    /* Notified when the client sends message to server */
    @OnMessage
    public void onMessage(Employee emp, Session session) throws IOException{
       String firstName = emp.firstName;
       String lastName = emp.lastName;
       int age = emp.age;
       
       RemoteEndpoint.Basic basic = session.getBasicRemote();
       System.out.println(firstName +"\t" +lastName +"\t" + age);
       basic.sendText(firstName +"\t" +lastName +"\t" + age);
    }
 
   /* notified when the user closes connection */
    @OnClose
    public void onClose(Session session){
        System.out.println("Session " +session.getId()+" has ended");
    }
}
