Thanks Maarten. I was trying to think of an eloquent way to say exactly that when I sent my reply. I couldn't and then dropped it as 'obvious'. I'm glad someone was able to state it better.

Of course, your code should not assume that two messageReceived events for the same IoSession will be handled by the same thread. So storing something in a threadlocal in the first messageReceived event and trying to retrieve it in the second event is NOT safe. (at least not in combination with an executorfilter) But that's rather obvious, I guess.
