Hi,
Grizzly ARP is not and more popular, both on this list as well as
private emails. One issue ARP was suffering was that it wasn't working
when the File Cache for static resources was enabled. First I was under
the impression it would be easy to fix, but guess what it wasn't at all.
I haven't touch the ARP code since 2005, so I decided to do some cleanup
there. Two majors backward compatibility issues:
+ com.sun.grizzly.http.AsyncFilter is now under
com.sun.grizzly.arp.AsyncFilter. The idea here is to isolate all Grizzly
ARP classes under the same package.
+ AsyncProcessorTask.getProcessorTask API is no longer there. This was
causing a lot of issue and made the programming model way to
complicated. If you need to manipulate the ProcessorTask, then instead
use AsyncExecutor.getProcessorTask(), which is the recommended way
anyway and will prevent concurrency issues.
I always try to not break backward compatibility, but this Grizzly ARP
needed refactoring works and cleanup from its original 1.0 version.
The new version will be included in 1.8.2.
A+
