31  /**
32   * A helper class which creates a new client-side {@link Channel} and makes a
33   * connection attempt.
34   *
35   * <h3>Configuring a channel</h3>
36   *
37   * {@link #setOption(String, Object) Options} are used to configure a channel:
38   *
39   * <pre>
40   * {@link ClientBootstrap} b = ...;
41   *
42   * // Options for a new channel
43   * b.setOption("remoteAddress", new {@link InetSocketAddress}("example.com", 8080));
44   * b.setOption("tcpNoDelay", true);
45   * b.setOption("receiveBufferSize", 1048576);
46   * </pre>
47   *
48   * For the detailed list of available options, please refer to
49   * {@link ChannelConfig} and its sub-types.
50   *
51   * <h3>Configuring a channel pipeline</h3>
52   *
53   * Every channel has its own {@link ChannelPipeline} and you can configure it
54   * in two ways.
55   *
56   * The recommended approach is to specify a {@link ChannelPipelineFactory} by
57   * calling {@link #setPipelineFactory(ChannelPipelineFactory)}.
58   *
59   * <pre>
60   * {@link ClientBootstrap} b = ...;
61   * b.setPipelineFactory(new MyPipelineFactory());
62   *
63   * public class MyPipelineFactory implements {@link ChannelPipelineFactory} {
64   *   public {@link ChannelPipeline} getPipeline() throws Exception {
65   *     // Create and configure a new pipeline for a new channel.
66   *     {@link ChannelPipeline} p = {@link Channels}.pipeline();
67   *     p.addLast("encoder", new EncodingHandler());
68   *     p.addLast("decoder", new DecodingHandler());
69   *     p.addLast("logic",   new LogicHandler());
70   *     return p;
71   *   }
72   * }
73   * </pre>
74  
75   * <p>
76   * The alternative approach, which works only in a certain situation, is to use
77   * the default pipeline and let the bootstrap to shallow-copy the default
78   * pipeline for each new channel:
79   *
80   * <pre>
81   * {@link ClientBootstrap} b = ...;
82   * {@link ChannelPipeline} p = b.getPipeline();
83   *
84   * // Add handlers to the default pipeline.
85   * p.addLast("encoder", new EncodingHandler());
86   * p.addLast("decoder", new DecodingHandler());
87   * p.addLast("logic",   new LogicHandler());
88   * </pre>
89   *
90   * Please note 'shallow-copy' here means that the added {@link ChannelHandler}s
91   * are not cloned but only their references are added to the new pipeline.
92   * Therefore, you cannot use this approach if you are going to open more than
93   * one {@link Channel}s or run a server that accepts incoming connections to
94   * create its child channels.
95   *
96   * <h3>Applying different settings for different {@link Channel}s</h3>
97   *
98   * {@link ClientBootstrap} is just a helper class.  It neither allocates nor
99   * manages any resources.  What manages the resources is the
100  * {@link ChannelFactory} implementation you specified in the constructor of
101  * {@link ClientBootstrap}.  Therefore, it is OK to create as many
102  * {@link ClientBootstrap} instances as you want with the same
103  * {@link ChannelFactory} to apply different settings for different
104  * {@link Channel}s.
