Netty is great

[Souvik Dutta]

Hi Trustin!

Working on a telecom project, I was asked to develop a server side MSRP
protocol stack to enable Chat, IM and Push to Share features for our
product. Having little knowledge of Java NIO features, I started exploring
network application frameworks and came across Apache MINA and JBoss Netty.
Mike Heath's blog on the performance comparison of the two frameworks
suggested that I use Netty.

I expected a steep learning curve. The Netty user guide got me up to speed
in no time. The asynchronous, event driven model made perfect sense for my
requirement. I finished the core stack implementation in 3 days flat. I
implementated a custom Frame Decoder / Encoder to validate and decode /
encode MSRP messages. The rest of it was mostly infrastructure code related
to session management, connection management and channel handling. In all I
wrote probably not more than eight classes.

The whole stuff works like a charm with so little effort. Keep up the good
work!

Regards,

Souvik
