[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBMAIL-94) Convert to non-blocking IO (NIO) and ditch the thread per connection model

Convert to non-blocking IO (NIO) and ditch the thread per connection model -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBMAIL-94 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMAIL-94 Project: JBoss Mail ** Closed - moved to http://buni.org ** Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Andrew Oliver Original Estimate: 2 weeks Remaining Estimate: 2 weeks Presently all protocols use a thread per open thread connection (thus more or less concurrent users). This limits scalability. Convert to an NIO model that does not suffer from this limitation. The difficulty will be in managing the complexity especially for commands like SMTP AUTH LOGIN which handle a conversation.
