But all in all, in this case, the chain of filters will *be* a state machine.
And here is my point. They all are really state machines. Having network protocols
"randomly" choosing chain paths is an anti-pattern. State machines should be
known and fixed at the time of protocol initiation.
Don't get me wrong... I'm not sure anyone here had in mind an
implementation which picks the next filter randomly... Although, that
could be funny :)
I have some ideas (and I even have created some branch years ago:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/mina/branches/mina-new-chain/ and
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/mina/branches/mina-new-chain2/) to play around
this idea.
I'll take a peek at these. Thanks!
frankly, those branches are mostly errands at this point. Don't expect
too much...
