Hey guys!
Quick question. I'm in the process of developing a
java server/android client app. The server is nearly complete...it works using a thread-per-client approach. However this will not scale very well when dealing with many clients connecting at once. This lead me to research some server-side solutions. I came across Netty, as it seems to be what I'm looking for as far as the scalability issue is concerned. Before I get too far into finishing the server I'd like to get the core down and not have to go back later to re-design it after the fact.
Netty used to not be compatible with Android, but apparently since 3.3(ish) it has been. It is now at 4.0, however I couldn't really find any resources for learning how to implement it for an android client/ java server combo. Does anyone here have any experience in this area? If not, are there any resources that are out there which could help me to better understand and use Netty for this purpose?
Thanks for your time!
