Thanks for the explanation :) I am no expert in Mina so the source of my questions was mostly made out from curiosity. However from what you explained it seems to be a very good idea :) Thanks again, Sim085 From: Jeff Genender [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

I will have some free time in the next week or so. I can take the lead on incorporating this into the baseline, if someone wants to give me a good recommendation as to where to place the code. My initial thought is to create a new top level project inside of the trunk. Maybe

I'm at a impasse with protocols. I don't know which to use. Does anyone have a suggestion? I like something simple like JMS uses. I tried serialization, but feel I'll run into limitations. I looked at things like JSON, and XStream. -- Justin Stanczak Stanczak Group 812-735-3600 All that is

Justin, By what you said, you definitely described a HTTP based application. Everything you need can be used using simple JSP stuff. Of course you could do it in many other ways, but I would professionally advise you to seriously consider HTTP. Hope I helped a bit, Rodrigo On 8/19/07,

So you're saying not to use Mina? Us Tomcat and JSP? Or Http over Mina? I don't want a browser based client. I want a rich Java client. Rodrigo Madera wrote: Justin, By what you said, you definitely described a HTTP based application. Everything you need can be used using simple JSP stuff.

Ya, I've written web applications for many years, using many different frameworks. I looked at the XFire approach, but I find it a very heavy stack. However I've never used it so I can't say for sure. Mina just seemed like a very fast and flexible framework, being a network framework for

Ya. I downloaded and tried it out some. Looks pretty good. But it does bring up a good question. Where does Mina fit when doing a project. Is there things it's better for over others? Is it something that's used to make servers or something that's used for client server. Is it LAN or WAN?
