We have a way around it, and it would be easy either way. anonymous wrote : Also not sure why we need PacketHandler and PacketSender passed into the method, surely: | It would be useful when you want to intercept the return value of the Handler. If we had the intercept working on both ways (client2Server and server2Client, you would never had the context of the return inside the same method). This would be like the ServletFilter where you have the InputStream and OutputStream available on the call. Case you wanted to override a return, you could something like: public void intercept(Packet packet, Handler handler, final Sender sender) | { | handler.handle(packet, new Sender() { | public void send(Packet packet) | { | sentPacket = packet; | sender.sent(packet); | } | }; | } | It would be harder to associate the sent and returned packet without this context.
