Congrats on reaching this milestone!
It's been a long journey since we first kicked off many of the ideas &
abstractions we'd like to see in a more generalized Grizzly.
For those who are not familiar with the "bear's" history ... Grizzly
first started as an HTTP connector in GlassFish. After realizing its
superior performance as an HTTP connector, we believed the Grizzly HTTP
connector could be generalized into a superior performing "transport"
independent of any protocol. So, a few of us got together and started
to work ideas & abstractions for a more generalized Grizzly. One of the
challenges we faced was that many folks had begun to build applications
on top of Grizzly HTTP. As a result, we became concerned about backward
compatibility. So, we first began with Grizzly 1.x which was is essence
a refactoring of Grizzly HTTP where HTTP & protocol specifics were
removed from what was then Grizzly HTTP, (note Grizzly HTTP still
exists, but it builds on top of a refactored Grizzly). We had also
started a parallel effort on some more generalized abstractions for a
more generalized Grizzly transport which would be programatically easier
to work & develop with. This more generalized approach would
eventually become known as "Grizzly 2.0". As we learned from our
experiences starting with Grizzly HTTP and the many enhancements (and
mistakes) we made in Grizzly 1.x we rolled those into Grizzly 2.0. We
also incorporated many ideas and suggestions from the community, (we're
very thankful of the community suggestions & feedback!).
So, Grizzly 2.0 is an attempt at arriving at a more generalized,
protocol independent (really fast) transport. We also wanted to improve
its usability via interfaces names and abstractions. I think Alexey has
done a great job in leading the development of Grizzly 2.0. I'm looking
forward to building some example client / server applications with
Grizzly 2.0. I hope you are too! :-)
Hey, maybe I should write this in a blog ... ;-)
