Yeah agreed grizzly is a very nice API

Real pity Oracle completely screwed up java.net as it pretty much orphaned a
tone of good support mailing list and forum posts in the process.

>From what I understand there are quite a few services using Java for this
sort of thing at the moment.

These guys are doing some interesting stuff if your interested in that sort
of scale.

All very interesting stuff which I have been keeping an eye on for a while.

Not sure what they used in the end but interesting all the same :)
