Hi,
let's move the discussion on the proper mailing list:
users_at_grizzly.dev.java.net
coolnigh, can we continue the discussion on the grizzly users list?

Yes and no depending on what you want to do. The bytes read are always
available inside a ByteBuffer. So if you need to parse the bytes, yes
you have to interact with NIO objects. Grizzly take cares of the low
level handling, but your ProtocolFilter always have to interact with
byte buffers....

Right the EchoFilter is an example. You aren't forced to use the
"blocking" OutputWriter, but you will have to write your own NIO code.
Release 1.6.2 will have an asynchronous write mechanism for application
that don't want to use the OutputWriter.
This feature is very often asked. If you join the Grizzly dev list, you
will see that we have started discussing how we want to efficiently
support async write.

I don't think the operation reduce significantly performance (at least
for the http case, we never found it was a bottleneck). But we have made
the strategy pluggable, so you can always inject your own (or disabled it).
Thanks!
