## Annotation Type ChannelHandler.Sharable

    @Inherited
    @Documented
    @Target(value=TYPE)
    @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
    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.
