- Method Detail
  - setListener
```
void setListener(MessageParserListener<T> listener)
```
    Sets the listener used to observer this MessageParser implementation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the listener used to observer this MessageParser implementation.
  - processData
```
void processData(InputStream stream)
          throws SdkException
```
    Processes passed data. If passed data and any previously stored data represent a whole message the MessageParserListener.onMessageReady(T) method is invoked
    
    Parameters:
    
    stream - A InputStream instance containing message data.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - the stream is a null reference.
    
    ProtocolException - the data could not be processed either because the buffer is full, an un-expected character was encountered or there was an error while un-marshalling the message
    
    SdkException
  - getEncoding
```
String getEncoding()
```
    Gets the configured character encoding for the parser.
    
    Returns:
    
    - a string, i.e. UTF-8
  - clear
```
