I just created a wiki page (1st draft) to support a discussion on the refactoring of our current client delegates into an agnostic model: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossMessagingDelegateRefactoring My goal is to make this refactoring in 3 or 4 steps, to make the process easier. 1st - Get rid os aspects (but keep any aspect acting as a generic interceptor such as Failover/Exception/Close) 2nd - Introduce proxies finally replacing the AOP pointcuts. 3rd - Rename packages & classes to what we are targeting as the final model. (for example, instead of ConnectionDelegate, rename it to just Connection... also rename the package to something reflecting the agnostic idea) 4th - Remove the DelegateSupport and place IOSession (mina objects) into Connection For the 1st iteration there is little or no discussions at all. We can just proceed on removing those aspects as this is a just refactoring. The wiki page will have more details and lets kick the discussion here now. I wanted to reuse what was already discussed on our previous meetings and on forums. Please let me know if you remember of any point previously discussed.
