Thanks for your explaination. Mina IoHandler, IoAcceptor, IoConnector can be configured? Is there any examples or tutorials for this? Furthermore,

MINA doesn't need Spring. The mina-spring-integration module provides some classes which make it easier to use Spring to configure your MINA IoHandler, IoAcceptor, IoConnector etc. Spring's dependency injection (DI) is a great tool as it helps you separate the configuration of your classes from the actual use. It encourages good design since your code won't have to bother about getting hold of the dependencies it needs to do its work. Instead you provide setter methods which Spring will use to inject the dependencies. The DI stuff is just a small (but extremely important) part of Spring. If your app uses Hibernate, needs transactions, can be managed through JMX, etc Spring has a lot to offer and will make your life as a programmer a lot more easier (and fun). In such an app mina-spring-integration is a life saver since it lets you inject those Spring managed transaction enabled services into your IoHandler, IoFilter, etc without tying your code to Spring in any way. BTW, you could still use the dependency injection pattern and benefit from the cleaner design without using Spring. You could separate out the wiring of the dependencies into a separate package of your app. For a small project that could be sufficient and it would let you switch to Spring based configuration more easily in the future.
