Understand thread usage in MINA

[william.poitras]

I’d like to understand thread usage better in MINA.   I have an application in mind that accepts TCP connections on one of several ports and can also initiate connections to another server that talks the same protocol.  Its basically a server to server messaging system.   For accepting connections I would register a Service with each port I’m listening on, and for making the outbound connections I would use a SocketConnector to connect to the other servers.  The questions I have is:   -          Do all of the Service objects share the same thread pool? -          Does all of the connections created from a SocketConnector share the same thread pool? Is this the same pool that the Service objects use? -          Would I use 1 socket connector for the entire application?  A pool of them?  One per client?   --bill
