Hi,
in MINA 2, session's attributes were stored using the AttributeKey
class, which was concatenating a class name and a name :
private static final AttributeKey PROCESSOR = new AttributeKey(
SimpleIoProcessorPool.class, "processor");
...
IoProcessor<S> processor = (IoProcessor<S>)
session.getAttribute(PROCESSOR);
...
session.setAttributeIfAbsent(PROCESSOR, processor);
...
Currently, the new IoSession is using five methods to manipulate
Attributes :
<T> T getAttribute(String name);
<T> T setAttribute(String name, T value);
<T> T removeAttribute(String name);
boolean containsAttribute(String name);
Set<String> getAttributeNames();
All of them take a String as a key (the name), and a generic value.
I would suggest that we don't use the AttributeKey class at all, and
instead, define each internal MINA Attribute by prefixing them with
'__'. For instance, the SslContext would use the '__SslContext' key. The
rational is that there is no reaon to use complex key, even if we have
some collision risks.
wdyt ?
