async hessian rpc

[rzo]

hello,

i am currently using netty to implement asynchronous hessian rpc client 
+ server.
is there interest to include this into the netty project ?

the idea is the following.

client side:

HessianProxyFactory factory;

pipeline factory:

pipeline.addLast("outputStream", new OutputStreamFilter());
pipeline.addLast("inputStream", new InputStreamFilter());
pipeline.addLast("hessianCallEncoder", new HessianCallEncoder());
pipeline.addLast("hessianReplyDecoder", new HessianReplyDecoder());
pipeline.addLast("hessian handler", factory);

client code:

ATestService  service = factory.createAProxy(TestService.class)
Future<Object> future = service.someMethod()
Object result = future.get()

TestService is the interface defining the available server side methods.
ATestService has the same methods as TestService. However all methods 
return Future (even void methods).

Synchronous calls are also provided:

TestService  service = factory.createProxy(TestService.class)
Object result = service.someMethod()

On the server invocations are also asynchronous, thus allowing comet 
like services with a single tcp/ip connection.
First tests on a single PC with single client/server show a performance 
of apprx 2000 invocations/responses per second.

Note: input/output streams can also be used for other applications where 
for example incoming xml streams have to be parsed.

ideas and suggestions are welcome.
