MINA official web site is: http://directory.apache.org/subprojects/network/
I guess we need a forum for MINA. I'll create one soon.
What is the benefit you get from combining streaming and multiplexing? StreamIoHandler is usually used for streamed protocols such as HTTP and SMTP. It works more effective than normal Input/OutputStream because all I/O operations are asynchronous, but Using IoHandler or ProtocolHandler directly is far more effective.
It is easy to do so. Is the protocol text-based, or binary? If it is binary, I recommend you to modify SumUp example. Otherwise, you could reuse reverser example. You could add some extra encoding/decoding operation to TextLineEncoder and TextLineDecoder that translates strings into command object or vice versa.
For now you cannot get the number of active threads. I need to add a getter method in the next release. Thread pools are provided by IoThreadPoolFilter and ProtocolThreadPoolFilter, so the getter method will be added there. SimpleServiceRegistry is just a wrapper that wraps IoAcceptors and ThreadPoolFilters, so you'll have to get an appropriate IoAcceptor it manages, and call getFilterChain to access the filters registered by SimpleServiceRegistry.
What do you mean by "big2"? :) Thanks!

-- I looked for a wiki or news group were one can post questions like this
one but I only found a "read only" WIKI with project & technical info...
I am not used to navigating the Apache site so maybe it is hiding there
somewhere :)

I am looking at ways to implement a stream based, multiplexed protocol
and read about Mina on the ServerSide. I looked at the documentation and
found two examples (httpserver and SumUp) that do the two things (async
& multiplex) BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME... It seems like you need to write
a StreamIoHandler to do stream based (extend StreamIoHandler) and
instead use a ProtocolProvider (that uses Demuxingxx) to do
multiplexed... Can it be combined somehow???

What I want to do is to let each session use an a stream (in each
direction) that it sends (numbered) commands and receive (numbered)
replies on. The replies may of course be out of order (some take longer
to process than others). Is this hard to do with Mina? Any pointers to
were I can look for more examples or other information that can help me
on the way?

I would also like to set a fixed number of service threads that process
the received requests - can this be done? Using what class??

No matter if it can be used for my protocol or not it seems like you are
on to something "big2 with this project - I think Mina will be really
useful! Keep up the good work!!!!
