43   * A byte buffer used by MINA applications.
44   * <p>
45   * This is a replacement for {@link ByteBuffer}. Please refer to
46   * {@link ByteBuffer} documentation for preliminary usage.  MINA does
47   * not use NIO {@link ByteBuffer} directly for two reasons:
48   * <ul>
49   * <li>It doesn't provide useful getters and putters such as
50   * <code>fill</code>, <code>get/putString</code>, and
51   * <code>get/putAsciiInt()</code> enough.</li>
52   * <li>It is difficult to write variable-length data due to its fixed
53   * capacity</li>
54   * </ul>
55   * </p>
56   *
57   * <h2>Allocation</h2>
58   * <p>
59   * You can allocate a new heap buffer.
60   * <pre>
61   * IoBuffer buf = IoBuffer.allocate(1024, false);
62   * </pre>
63   * you can also allocate a new direct buffer:
64   * <pre>
65   * IoBuffer buf = IoBuffer.allocate(1024, true);
66   * </pre>
67   * or you can set the default buffer type.
68   * <pre>
69   * // Allocate heap buffer by default.
70   * IoBuffer.setUseDirectBuffer(false);
71   * // A new heap buffer is returned.
72   * IoBuffer buf = IoBuffer.allocate(1024);
73   * </pre>
74   * </p>
75   *
76   * <h2>Wrapping existing NIO buffers and arrays</h2>
77   * <p>
78   * This class provides a few <tt>wrap(...)</tt> methods that wraps
79   * any NIO buffers and byte arrays.
80   *
81   * <h2>AutoExpand</h2>
82   * <p>
83   * Writing variable-length data using NIO <tt>ByteBuffers</tt> is not really
84   * easy, and it is because its size is fixed.  {@link IoBuffer} introduces 
85   * <tt>autoExpand</tt> property.  If <tt>autoExpand</tt> property is true, you
86   * never get {@link BufferOverflowException} or
87   * {@link IndexOutOfBoundsException} (except when index is negative).
88   * It automatically expands its capacity and limit value.  For example:
89   * <pre>
90   * String greeting = messageBundle.getMessage( "hello" );
91   * IoBuffer buf = IoBuffer.allocate( 16 );
92   * // Turn on autoExpand (it is off by default)
93   * buf.setAutoExpand( true );
94   * buf.putString( greeting, utf8encoder );
95   * </pre>
96   * The underlying {@link ByteBuffer} is reallocated by {@link IoBuffer} behind
97   * the scene if the encoded data is larger than 16 bytes in the example above.
98   * Its capacity will double, and its limit will increase to the last position
99   * the string is written.
100  * </p>
101  * 
102  * <h2>AutoShrink</h2>
103  * <p>
104  * You might also want to decrease the capacity of the buffer when most
105  * of the allocated memory area is not being used.  {@link IoBuffer} provides
106  * <tt>autoShrink</tt> property to take care of this issue.  If 
107  * <tt>autoShrink</tt> is turned on, {@link IoBuffer} halves the capacity
108  * of the buffer when {@link #compact()} is invoked and only 1/4 or less of
109  * the current capacity is being used.
110  * <p>
111  * You can also {@link #shrink()} method manually to shrink the capacity of
112  * the buffer.
113  * <p> 
114  * The underlying {@link ByteBuffer} is reallocated by {@link IoBuffer} behind
115  * the scene, and therefore {@link #buf()} will return a different
116  * {@link ByteBuffer} instance once capacity changes.  Please also note
117  * {@link #compact()} or {@link #shrink()} will not decrease the capacity if
118  * the new capacity is less than the {@link #minimumCapacity()} of the buffer.
119  *
120  * <h2>Derived Buffers</h2>
121  * <p>
122  * Derived buffers are the buffers which were created by
123  * {@link #duplicate()}, {@link #slice()}, or {@link #asReadOnlyBuffer()}.
124  * They are useful especially when you broadcast the same messages to
125  * multiple {@link IoSession}s.  Please note that the buffer derived from and
126  * its derived buffers are not both auto-expandable neither auto-shrinkable.
127  * Trying to call {@link #setAutoExpand(boolean)} or {@link #setAutoShrink(boolean)}
128  * with <tt>true</tt> parameter will raise an {@link IllegalStateException}.
129  * </p>
130  *
131  * <h2>Changing Buffer Allocation Policy</h2>
132  * <p>
133  * {@link IoBufferAllocator} interface lets you override the default buffer
134  * management behavior.  There are two allocators provided out-of-the-box:
135  * <ul>
136  * <li>{@link SimpleBufferAllocator} (default)</li>
137  * <li>{@link CachedBufferAllocator}</li>
138  * </ul>
139  * You can implement your own allocator and use it by calling
140  * {@link #setAllocator(IoBufferAllocator)}.
141  * </p>
