Motivation:
There is no way for a ChannelHandler to check if the passed in ChannelPromise for a write(...) call is a VoidChannelPromise. This is a problem as some handlers need to add listeners to the ChannelPromise which is not possible in the case of a VoidChannelPromise.
Modification:
- Introduce ChannelFuture.isVoid() which will return true if it is not possible to add listeners or wait on the result.
- Add ChannelPromise.unvoid() which allows to create a ChannelFuture out of a void ChannelFuture which supports all the operations.
Result:
It's now easy to write ChannelHandler implementations which also works when a void ChannelPromise is used.
- Now works without the transport package
- Renamed TransferFuture to ProgressiveFuture and ChannelProgressiveFuture / same for promises
- ProgressiveFutureListener now extends GenericProgressiveFutureListener and GenericFutureListener (add/removeTransferListener*() were removed)
- Renamed DefaultEventListeners to DefaultFutureListeners and only accept GenericFutureListeners
- Various clean-up
