I'm close to getting the nio stuff working one way (Client to Server) and I should get the reverse path working shortly. So hopefully next week I'll be able to check in the network infrastructure which we can then work with to make a flexible/robust/simple loadbalancer! NB. I have previously bagged out nio on the Jetty-list- I think I will have to take a lot of that back (other than my complaint about anything with n in the name). It is rather cool and does have good links back to the old blocking stuff.... In fact a ChannelListener is now high on my priority list for Jetty. So another suggestion to the JBoss folks that you get the build environment able to optionally compile 1.4 based classes for these new bells and whistles! > In the > meantime, this might be a good source for requirements: > > http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/11150.htm thanks -- Greg Wilkins<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GB Phone: +44-(0)7092063462 Mort Bay Consulting Australia and UK.
