How about a generalization of HandshakeCompletedListener: | interface SocketCreatedListener | { | void socketCreated(Socket socket); | } | An instance of SocketCreatedListener could be passed in on the client side: | SocketCreatedListener listener = ... ; | HashMap config = new HashMap(); | config.put(Remoting.SOCKET_CREATED_LISTENER, listener); | Client client = new Client(locator, config); | and on the server side: | SocketCreatedListener listener = ... ; | HashMap config = new HashMap(); | config.put(Remoting.SOCKET_CREATED_LISTENER, listener); | Connector = new Connector(locator, config); | The client and server invokers would be responsible for calling the listener whenever they create a socket. A customized SocketFactory would probably be necessary for some of the less transparent transports. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3997426#...
