Netty in Action - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - First Netty Application - Echo Client and Server

Echo Server

  1. At least one ChannelHandler - implementation of data processing
  2. Bootstrapping - startup code that configures server.

Echo Client

The client will:

  1. Connect to the server
  2. Send one or more messages
  3. For each message, wait for and receive the same message back from the server
  4. Close the connection

NOTE: SimpleChannelInboundHandler takes care of releasing the memory reference to the ByteBuf that holds the message.
