Events

[Yang Zhang]

Hi, is there an event handling framework in Netty?  I'm writing a 
library on top of Netty that assumes asynchronous IO, so methods that do 
such IO take a callback.  However, if for instance I can immediately 
make the callback, and I don't want to simply make a recursive call into 
the callback, how do I issue a new event?  (In Twisted, this is done 
with reactor.callLater(delay, callback), where delay is set to 0.)

(More generally, is it possible to issue asynchronous delays/sleeps in 
Netty?)
