-----------------------------------------------------------------

I have to correct myself: The example given above at least requires that *any* 
character is send to trigger the route (not necessarily a newline). 
Unfortunately in our use-case the incoming client just silently connects to our 
server-socket but does not send anything (instead it is waiting for the 
request).

[~njiang] do you have any other suggestion how to switch the consumer / 
producer role even if a server-socket is used?

According to the camel netty documentation you can switch a <from...> consumer 
to clientMode but unfortunately it looks as you can not switch a <to...> 
producer to serverMode.

>             Project: Camel
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: camel-mina
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 1.5.0
>            Reporter: Jeff Vienneau
>            Assignee: Willem Jiang
>             Fix For: 2.15.0

>
> Internally, 
> MinaProducer is coded to create a Mina connector (client mode socket).
> MinaConsumer is coded to create a Mina acceptor (server mode socket).
> Additionally, it appears a producer (client mode socket) is created for a 
> "to" route mapping and a consumer (server mode socket) is created for a 
> "from" route mapping.
> This means an endpoint cannot be created in which the session is initiated by 
> a client and messages are routed "to" the client. 
> The opposite is also true, an endpoint with a "from" route mapping cannot 
> establish a connection to a tcp server.
> This is a major limitation, as we do not often have control over the systems 
> with which we are interfacing.
> Perhaps, the mina::tcp URI could have a parameter the sets the socket mode: 
> tcp.mode=server or tcp.mode=client.
> Hope this make sense, thanks!
