[jira] Commented: (JAMES-930) Refactor socket services to use composition instead of inheritance (AbstractProtocolServer to become a component)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-930?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12765543#action_12765543 ] 

Stefano Bagnara commented on JAMES-930:
---------------------------------------

A first step is done. Some more refactoring will be needed in each protocol function in order to stop inheriting from AbstractProtocolServer and start implementing ProtocolHandlerFactory.

> We should move from inheritance (done in JAMES-516) to composition for protocols and sockets.
> avalon-socket-library should be able to create a new socket service for a given protocol.
> socket <-> protocol should "talk" via service interfaces and no build time link should exists.
> This way we'll be able to introduce alternative socket handling libraries (like a MINA one). This is possible now that we moved to a line based push approach for the protocol: JAMES-750
