Introduction to Asynchronous I/O (NIO.2) using the Grizzly Framework
Abstract
Writing scalable server applications in the Java™ programming language has always been difficult. Before the advent of the Java New I/O API (NIO), thread management issues made it impossible for a server to scale to thousands of users. The Grizzly framework has been designed to help developers to take advantage of the Java™ NIO API and the upcoming JDK 7 NIO.2 (Asynchronous I/O). This session will introduce NIO.2 API and Concepts using the Grizzly Framework and will compare the performance of NIO.1 with NIO.2 using an asynchronous http server implementation.
