Streaming should work with packet-based channels as well as stream-based channels
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBREM-1009
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREM-1009
             Project: JBoss Remoting
          Issue Type: Task
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: r3 api
            Reporter: David Lloyd
         Assigned To: David Lloyd
             Fix For: 3.0.0-M3


OutputStreams and Writers are trivially implemented using streams - writes to the remote object are simply propagated across to channel.  Other types of streams are more difficult to implement this way.  InputStream for example has two types of messages - a data chunk and an exception chunk.  Because of this, some basic framing is necessary; with only support for streams, this framing must take place within the stream handler which is a pain to implement.

So, a stream serializer should be able to register itself as a byte stream handler (using a StreamChannel) or a message stream handler (using a MessageChannel).
