Hi again, Been examining the asyncweb project in more details (atleast the asyncweb.client and asyncwebserver components). Below is my notes (simple draft).
asyncweb notes -client module * https support for Deft's AHC (AsynchronousHttpClient) could borrow some details from asyncweb (o.a.asyncweb.client.SimpleTrustManagerFactory) * Improve the http request decoding (org.apache.ahc.codec.HttpDecoder, eg. decode[line, status, header, cookie]) -server module * like the simple and elegant design of o.a.asyncweb.server.resolver.ServiceResolver (and its concrete impl., eg. PatternMatchResolver (comparable to Deft's "Capturing groups") and ExactMatchURIServiceResolver) * o.a.asyncweb.server.HttpClientListener (interface with callbacks clientDisconnected, clientIdle, register listeners on HttpServiceContext). I like the idea. Useful for comet/longpoll (could be worth to add to Deft). Conclusion: Ofcourse there are overlaps between the two projects. I agree with Emanuel Emmanuel Lécharny regarding that "It's almost as difficult to write from scratch some piece of code than to reuse some other with lost support..." Deft is built (tightly integrated) around the event-loop (org.deftserver.io.IOLoop) which the modules (e.g the web server component and the async http client) heavily depend upon. Asyncweb is built on top of the Apache MINA network framework and to merge these two project (asyncweb and deft) is non trivial, therefor I propose we don't. Also, I guess asyncweb was "abandoned" for a reason?
