I have a design question and maybe some of you might be able to help :

 

Here's my situation:

 

*       Client C1 connects to Server S1
*       Session creation event propagates along the filter chain up to
the ConnectFuture where I set the default session information such as
server password
*       S1 sends password prompt to C1
*       One of C1 IoFilter handles the password handshake with the
server.

 

Here's my problem:

I can only set connection credential (password) in the IoSession once it
is created. I only know when it gets created through the callback
mechanism with the ConnectFuture. Although at this point a TCP
connection is established, since the password exchange hasn't yet taken
place, my client cannot yet send an ordinary request to the server. So,
how can I get notified at the session level that the password exchange
has succeeded so that I can start sending ordinary requests. 

 

I was looking for some kind of custom Callback mechanism that I could
implement but I didn't found any. I don't think I can trigger at the
IoHandler level or the Filter level because I have many clients sharing
those at the same time. I need something like the ConnectFuture that
would be at the session level and would trigger when my password
exchange will have succeeded.

 

Any ideas? I would really appreciate how you guys are solving this kind
of issue.

 

Thanks,

 

Simon
