Chunked READ and multi message

[scottesker]

Ok.  I have seen numerous questions about this, and really no answers.  I am
analyzing netty for a project, and have written several test cases and
believe it is going to do what I need.  The two things that I have questions
for, the simple examples and what I have been able to search for have now
answered...

1.  Chunked file read.  Yes, I have looked, read the code etc of the Chunked
Classes that exist in netty right now.  The problem is, and I think others
have asked is -- We are not doing HTTP protocol.  We are using TCP for point
to point communications.  All I keep seeing is to use the Chunk aggregator
for HTTP.  So to be perfectly clear to those around that have asked the
question, there is no support currently (built in) to  handle reading of
chunks, only writing (non http)?  I already know the answer I guess from
looking at the checked out code, so I will assume that I need to write an
aggregator that is non http myself..?  Is that the architectural approach
that is recommended?

2.  Multi message decoding.  So, we have many types of messages that are
going to be transmitted via TCP.  Is the architecturally suggested method to
use multiple channel handlers, or? 

I know these questions can be implemented in numerous ways, I am hoping that
someone with more time with netty, can suggest the preferred method of
implementing these two requirements.  I certainly don't mind writing the
code, just need a direction...

Thanks
