Hi.
I'm looking into refurbishing a homebrew communication server.
In practice it's:
*supporting several transports, TCP, SNA, MQ, whatever
*protocol converter on top of that, e.g. for example send in propitary
format A over transport T1, convert it to format B and send it over
transport T2. The protocols are entirely propietary
I'm looking into MINA to provide the backbones/framework of a
refactoring/rewrite/cleanup/whatever, and it looks promising, however,
mina looks quite Scoket (tcp/udp) centric - at least for 1.x?
have anybody used mina for other transports, and how suitable is it
for that?
Well, as you said, it's pretty much TCP/UDP oriented (if you except the
serial part). That does not mean you can't plug your own transport, but
that would be a consequent effort, IMO.
What about SNA over TCP, etc ?
Julien, as you wrote the serial part, can you tell more about how
complex is it to plug a transport under MINA ?
