had a brief look at proxy example code. Its fits in situation. To make this happen, you will need both Hosts to be connected before this can happen so lets walk through this Broker is up Host A connects to Broker Host A session created Host B connects to Broker Host B session is created Can listen for session events and keep a session registry in cache (ehcache or anything else) on message received in IoHandler, lookup for appropriate session and write to it. All this can happen either in your IoHandler or better have it delegated within your Broker If any of then breaks connection, you clean up your session cache and your broker logic invalidates the connection. Once basic flow is up, you can plugin your custom manipulation logic :-) HTH -- thanks ashish
