[netty-dev] Looking for testimonials for 3.0.0.GA

[Frederic Bregier]

Hi Trustin,
I will try to focus a bit on Netty this time. Feel free to change it if it
is not still OK for you ;-)

The first project is a replacement of  web services managed by a proprietary
software 
using CORBA as a black box, but using Netty with a new protocol, based on
serialization 
of objects and of course as an open box.
Using Netty brings us quickly a clean protocol without any trouble using the
pipeline
feature. We particularly appreciate the speed up of performance using
serialization, 
which is an ease of developement for us. We can focus on "business" part
easier. 
We spent 5 days on implementing the kernel of the network layout, and 15
days for the 
business part, so Netty is a great piece of software.

OpenR66 is a file transfer monitor projects that mimics in its principles
the behaviour 
of a proprietary one. Using Netty was the most simplest part since, once we
wrote our 
network handler using a private business handler, getting more and more
functions was 
just as easy as to write a new class attached to a type of message. We
observed a ratio 
of 1 day for the network layout with Netty compares to 5 days for the
business part, 
which shows the easyness of usage of Netty when it is about to write Network
Layout. 
For instance, adding the SSL support takes about 3 days. With Netty, we can
easily keep 
threads and memory footprint low. Preventing OOM was one reason to use this
framework. 
Also, the ease of pipeline, once used to, allows quick implementation on
network 
interface. 

HTH,
Thank you too!!
Frederic
