[mina] Introducing the New API for 0.9.1.

[Trustin Lee]

Hi all,

I refactored MINA API very heavily this weekend, and now it's time to show the result to you.  Please feel free to browse my branch here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/directory/sandbox/trustin/mina-spi/

and here's the working examples:

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/directory/sandbox/trustin/mina-spi/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/mina/examples/

Here's the list of notable changes:

* SocketAddress is replaced with IoAddress (org.apache.common )

* All bind/unbind/connect operation is performed via org.apache.commin.IoService.  There's no need to instantiate an acceptor  implementation by yourself.  You never access org.apache.mina.transport.* packages anymore.

* 'registry' package is removed.  Instead, IoService does the similar job.

* No more transport-type specific property getters and setters.  Now we use IoAddress properties and the user-defined attributes in IoSession.  For example:

ex1) IoService.bind( "nio:socket:*:8080?reuseAddress=true&threadModel=normal&threadPoolSize=20&receiveBufferSize=4096", new MyHandler() );
ex2) session.setAttribute( "receiveBufferSize", new Integer( 2048 ) );  // org.apache.mina.common.RuntimeIOException will be thrown if this operation fails.

* Blacklist filter uses regular expressions to detect blacklisted sessions.

* Spring integration classes changed a lot due to these changes.

* Per-acceptor/connector IoFilterChainBuilder is removed.  Instead we could implement IoService to support more attributes.  For example, we could do like this:

IoService.connect( "nio:socket: 192.168.0.1:8080?reconnect=true&reconnectRetry=3&reconnectDelay=10", new MyIoHandler() );

Please feel free to criticize these changes.  We're very open to your feedback.  More feedback, better API! :)

Thanks in advance,
Trustin
