[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Messaging on JBoss (Messaging/JBoss)] - Re: Messaging and Remoting

[timfox]

To clarify what I was saying.

If we were to augment the remoting API to add methods that take ByteBuffers[] (or byte[] or whatever) for both receiving and sending, then in the non blocking case we would have to cope with partial sends and receives in the application.

We could of course build intelligence into the API to cope with the partial sends /receives - but this is pretty much the raison d'etre for NIO frameworks such as MINA AFAIK. So we'd be re-inventing the wheel.

If we didn't build that intelligence into the API, then we would have to handle it ourselves in the application layer, which again would be re-inventing the wheel, this time in the application.

If we agree that we don't want to build our own NIO framework then, I suggest we should just use one that we know works already.
