Thinking about our discussion about having a "layered" approach to messaging, this looks like a good proposal for the highest level to the remoting API. However I still believe we need very low level access for high performance operations. For example, in the proposal, "raw" data is sent/received in byte[]s, but in the case that the implementation was using NIO this would mean copying to and from byte buffers which is going to be slow. I suggest we need to the API to deal with byte buffers directly. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3980000#...
