Trustin Lee commented on DIRMINA-160: ------------------------------------- This is a message from J-F. I put this here to track this issue more easily: -------- Hi Niklas, I suggested this some time ago. As Mina is asynchronous, this leads indeed to state-based protocol handler. It would be a great idea to develop code that could be reused. The State pattern can help: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-1997/jw-08-stated_p.html. Unfortunately, I don't know any open-source implementation of it. Cheers, J-F > Add support for defining higher level state machines on top of MINA > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DIRMINA-160 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-160 > Project: Directory MINA > Type: New Feature > Reporter: Niklas Therning > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.0 > > We'll have to provide some kind of FSM support. This should give users a set > of best practices for building complex protocols on top of MINA. > Trustin had the suggestion that we could implement it very simply by > implementing IoHandler which demultiplexes events to an appropriate IoHandler > implementation according to a certain session attribute value. > I guess we could provide some means for defining the states and transitions > too. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
