In my application, I add special decision inside ProtocolEncoder / ProtocolDecoder to bypass certain data type.
I don't know if override ProtocolCodecFilter.filterWrite() is a better way. If it is, why not add a template method inside it thus child class can easily write its own implementation to bypass special data packet. BR anderson -----Original Message----- From: W.B.
