public static @interface ChannelHandler.Sharable
Indicates that the same instance of the annotated
ChannelHandler
can be added to one or more ChannelPipeline
s multiple times
without a race condition.
If this annotation is not specified, you have to create a new handler instance every time you add it to a pipeline because it has unshared state such as member variables.
This annotation is provided for documentation purpose, just like the JCIP annotations.
