Hello all,
My question is why is the reading style from an IoSession different from
the writing style? The obvious way seems to be:
interface IoSession {
....
ReadFuture read();
WriteFuture write(Object message);
....
}
Where:
interface ReadFuture extends IoFuture {
Object getMessage();
}
So when I want to read I do:
session.read().addListener(<some handler>);
This is wonderfully symmetric to:
session.write(<the message>).addListener(<some handler>);
In this way the Proactor I/O style is maintained for all I/O rather than
just for accept, connect, close and write with read being somewhat
different.
I take it it was a deliberate choice to use a different style for the
reading and I'm curious what drove your design. I scanned the mailing
list for a similar question but did not find any (forgive me if I missed
it).
Cheers,
Todor Boev
