[MINA] 0.9 Protocol implementations

[Jose Alberto Fernandez]

Hi,   With the new APIs in 0.9 there are no differences between Io and Protocol level filters and such. One thing I found very useful in 0.8 was that one could implement a complex protocol keeping separated the Io/Codec part of the protocol in one hand and the management of the Protocol-level objects on the other hand. What I could do with this is to easily define Mock implementations of the Protocol level management by just connecting to a VMPipe instead of a real socket. That way only Protocol level filters and handlers will be used on the ProtocolHandlers and not any of the Io/Codec level stuff.   In 0.9 since there is no distinction between any of them, is there a good pattern that one can use to achieve the same behaviour?   Any good ideas appreciated.   Jose Alberto
