As far as I can tell, there is no such thing as channels in Mina. I guess it would be possible to implement BEEP on top of Mina. Has ever anybody thought about doing so? Or would that be a 'stupid idea' (tm)? Any ideas?
Not at all Beep is an excellent candidate for MINA and should be easily built on top of what we have already. It might be interesting to see if there are changes that could be made to the MINA API to improve a Beep implementation on top of MINA in terms of coherence, or performance. I don't think there needs to be any changes per se but I'd recommend experimenting with it just to be able to get feedback in before a 1.0 of MINA rolls out. As far as I can see Beep can be implemented nicely right on top of MINA. I'd love to see an implementation of it here at the ASF as part of MINA.
