State machine driven by messages

[Daniel Ferber]

Hi, Thanks for the advices. Yesterday I read more about netty and found that
there is a Executor handler, that takes care of handling a pool of threads
exactly as I described on my previous message to control the state machines.


Now I just need to implement the state machine. I am really impressed with
netty for relieving the developer from so much tedious work.

I was not able to find out how to implement the state machine using
handlers. Would you mind giving some more details, or pointing some place
where I can read more about this approach? On the other side, I believe that
an external state machine not based on handlers might be better, since it
would be easier to to unit tests.

Best regards,
Daniel Felix Ferber
