[MINA] protocol with long messages

[Fabien Le Floc'h]

Hi,

I am very new to MINA. I am excited since it has lots of good ideas. I was wondering if the ProtocolHandler was adapted to process very long messages. In those cases, you don't want to pass the message content, you would like to stream it. I don't exactly see how this kind of protocol would fit in the MINA Protocol vision when looking at the MINA tutorial (only documentation), as you might want to know when a part of the message is read (header for example), and stream the remaining (body).

I see a way in one example, using StreamIoHandler, maybe it would be nice if this was documented?

Is there any other way?

Fabien.
