How to perform integration testing in Netty 4

Question

In Netty in Action, I read about EmbeddedChannel which can be used for unit testing.

My use case now goes beyond unit testing, and more of integration testing. I want to be able to start the server and then, and within the test, configure/modify the channel handlers.

How is such an integration test setup possible in Netty 4?

Answer 1

I am not sure what exactly you are asking about here... Sure you can just start a Netty server as normal by bootstrap it and then modify the pipeline on the fly by using channel.pipeline()... .
