Commons server infrastructure proposal

[Mladen Turk <mt...@apache.org>]

Hi all,


I have a project to propose that the 'commons philosophy' can benefit
thought.
I'm aware of incubation process, but since I'm an active ASF member for
years now, I would like to hear your opinions before.

What I would like to know is are there any need and will to support such a
project.

Briefly the project I meant to do can be seen as a generic server side
component.
It will based on NIO, and it will have plain socket, SSL, and a generic
channel support(Pipes and ByteBuffers), so that communication doesn't
necessary has to came from the wire, but rather from any data source.

What's the purpose of it?
Making a generic infrastructure for a wide variety of server-like
applications like http/ftp/mail servers, reverse proxies, load balancers,
clusters, game servers, etc.

Why?
During past few years I found myself writing over and over again some things
that if properly designed could spare me lots of time.

Realy why?
Something like that doesn't exists (at least I'm not aware of such a thing
having BSD-like licence), and although I have a large codebase finished, I'm
not the smartest guy around :)

Regards,
MT.
