[jetty-users] Possible to implement lower-level protocols in Jetty?

[ccleve <ccleve.tech@xxxxxxxxx>]

We use Jetty to communicate via http with the outside world. For 
high-speed communication within our cluster, though, we're considering 
something without the overhead of http, something like Thrift or 
Protocol buffers.

Is it possible to implement these things in Jetty itself? Is there some 
place to insert a lower-level handler? We really don't want to give up 
all of Jetty's cool asynchronous NIO stuff.

We'd also rather not switch to Netty to make this work.
