This artifact provides a single jar that contains all classes required to use remote EJB and JMS, including
all dependencies. It is intended for use by those not using maven, maven users should just import the EJB and
JMS BOM's instead (shaded JAR's cause lots of problems with maven, as it is very easy to inadvertently end up
with different versions on classes on the class path).

/**
* A Codec for on-the-fly encoding/decoding of message.
*
* This can be thought of as a combination of {@link MessageToMessageDecoder} and {@link MessageToMessageEncoder}.
*
* Here is an example of a {@link MessageToMessageCodec} which just decode from {@link Integer} to {@link Long}
* and encode from {@link Long} to {@link Integer}.
*
*
* public class NumberCodec extends
* {@link MessageToMessageCodec}<{@link Integer}, {@link Long}> {
* {@code @Override}
* public {@link Long} decode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link Integer} msg, List<Object> out)
* throws {@link Exception} {
* out.add(msg.longValue());
* }
*
* {@code @Override}
* public {@link Integer} encode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link Long} msg, List<Object> out)
* throws {@link Exception} {
* out.add(msg.intValue());
* }
* }
*
*
* Be aware that you need to call {@link ReferenceCounted#retain()} on messages that are just passed through if they
* are of type {@link ReferenceCounted}. This is needed as the {@link MessageToMessageCodec} will call
* {@link ReferenceCounted#release()} on encoded / decoded messages.
