something like this?

Does anyone have any idea what would be the best way to try and implement

IoSession session = // your MINA session;
MyCustomFuture future = new MyCustomFuture();

session.setAttribute("next-future", future);
session.write( object );

future.await();
return future.get();

.. And then in your IoHandler,

void messageReceived( Object message ) {
        MyCustomFuture future = getAttribute( "next-future" );
        future.setValue( message );
}

You'll want an encapsulation-based relationship with MINA, rather than an inheritance-based one. With that said, if you want to mimic a synchronous API, you'll want to make a 'Future' to hold the result of your call. Something akin to: You can use the Future in MINA as an example. Or build off of Java5's or what is in util.concurrent.
