Description

It would be very interesting to have a flush method in ProtocolEncoderOutput interface, allowing the caller to send chunks of PDU without creating a full bufer to store it. The memory footprint could be greatly improved.

This method could be blocking or not blocking (i.e, MINA could return a status after having sent the PDU chunk - blocking mode - or storing the PDU chunk in it's own buffer pool, and returning).

wdyt?
