This is probably a very common functionality needed when building Netty based programs. More attention in the javadocs/documentation for best practices would be nice. 

I have solved it simply by subclassing DefaultChannelPipeline and putting the variables I need there. That way all of my handlers can access it by ChannelHandlerContext.getPipeline()
