As you might expect, client_handler.h is next.

/* Our client handler must exist somewhere in the ACE_Event_Handler
   object hierarchy.  This is a requirement of the ACE_Reactor because
   it maintains ACE_Event_Handler pointers for each registered event
   handler.  You could derive our Client_Handler directly from
   ACE_Event_Handler but you still have to have an ACE_SOCK_Stream for
   the actually connection.  With a direct derivative of
   ACE_Event_Handler, you'll have to contain and maintain an
   ACE_SOCK_Stream instance yourself.  With ACE_Svc_Handler (which is
   a derivative of ACE_Event_Handler) some of those details are
   handled for you.  */

    invoke this method after creating a new Client_Handler when a
    client connects. Notice that the parameter to open() is a void*.
    It just so happens that the pointer points to the acceptor which
    created us.  You would like for the parameter to be an
    ACE_Acceptor<>* but since ACE_Event_Handler is generic, that would

    up. Since an event handler can be registered for more than one
    type of callback, the callback mask is provided to inform
    handle_close() exactly which method failed.  That way, you don't
    have to maintain state information between your handle_* method
    calls. The <handle> parameter is explained below...  As a

Still, we're just not seeing a lot of changes due to introduction of the thread pool.  That's a good thing! You don't want to go turning your application upside down just because you changed thread models.
