038/**
039 * <p>
040 *   A handle which represents connection between two end-points regardless of
041 *   transport types.
042 * </p>
043 * <p>
044 *   {@link IoSession} provides user-defined attributes.  User-defined attributes
045 *   are application-specific data which are associated with a session.
046 *   It often contains objects that represents the state of a higher-level protocol
047 *   and becomes a way to exchange data between filters and handlers.
048 * </p>
049 * <h3>Adjusting Transport Type Specific Properties</h3>
050 * <p>
051 *   You can simply downcast the session to an appropriate subclass.
052 * </p>
053 * <h3>Thread Safety</h3>
054 * <p>
055 *   {@link IoSession} is thread-safe.  But please note that performing
056 *   more than one {@link #write(Object)} calls at the same time will
057 *   cause the {@link IoFilter#filterWrite(IoFilter.NextFilter,IoSession,WriteRequest)}
058 *   to be executed simultaneously, and therefore you have to make sure the
059 *   {@link IoFilter} implementations you're using are thread-safe, too.
060 * </p>
061 * <h3>Equality of Sessions</h3>
062 * TODO : The getId() method is totally wrong. We can't base
063 * a method which is designed to create a unique ID on the hashCode method.
064 * {@link Object#equals(Object)} and {@link Object#hashCode()} shall not be overriden
065 * to the default behavior that is defined in {@link Object}.
