I like the idea. Just a few thoughts on this topic: - Working on in/output streams: We need to be careful with double buffering here. It might easily neglect the performance improvemts within each stack. - Abstract RequestHandler. This is part of the SPI and cannot easily be changed. If you need to work on it, do it soon With the next release the SPI will not easily undergo changes. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4072398#...
