1. 一個channel，inbound handler由註冊順序從上往下排列，outbound handler由註冊順序從下往上排列。

2.server端接收請求，沒接收一個請求生成一個子channel，處理這個request

public class HttpRequestHandler extends SimpleChannelInboundHandler<FullHttpRequest> {


    @Override
    protected void channelRead0(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, FullHttpRequest msg) throws UnsupportedEncodingException, IOException {
        //do something with msg, for example
	ByteBuf m = msg.content();
	StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
	while (m.isReadable()) {
		sb.append((char) m.readByte());
	}
	String content = sb.toString();
      //do something with content
	DefaultFullHttpResponse response = new DefaultFullHttpResponse(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1, HttpResponseStatus.OK, Unpooled.wrappedBuffer("some_body_content".getBytes())); 
	response.headers().add(HttpHeaderNames.CONTENT_LENGTH, response.content().readableBytes()); 
	response.headers().add(HttpHeaderNames.CONTENT_TYPE, "text/plain"); 
	ctx.writeAndFlush(response); 
	} 

	@Override 
	public void exceptionCaught(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Throwable cause) { 
		logger.error("Exception caught in netty channel.", cause); ctx.close(); 
	}

}
 

注意點：netty預設使用ByteBuf儲存request和response，它使用直接記憶體，不在GC堆內，所以不會被自動回收，需要手動回收。request和response一般繼承ReferenceCounted介面，維持一個refCnt，可以通過msg.release()，msg.retain()修改，也可以用ReferenceCountUtil.release(msg)來釋放。SimpleChannelInboundHandler在ChannelRead0方法退出時會自動釋放未釋放的資源，而ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter不會，需要手動釋放，如不釋放，會造成記憶體洩露
