Well it is difficult to use Mina if you don't know how socket are working...
When you buy a car, how to drive a car is not explained in the car
documentation !

Hey all,
Thanks for the replies.

The reason why I asked was due to a lack of understanding of Mina. The
documentation never stated such a fact, so regarded it as being
something odd. But none the less there is no need to be aggressive
about someone being inquisitive.

Thanks for your explanation. Something like that should be noted in
the documentation. It gives the impression that you only need to deal
with packets being fragmented.

Hello Mark
I think it is a bad idea to every trust a "packet" unit in tcp (what you
receive in one receive call, or send in one send call) as a unit which you
can depend on. TCP works with streams rather than packets, so anything you
view as a unit on the sending side is not guaranteed to be a unit on the
receiving side, whether that is too much or too little in one receive/send
call. A size header or delimiter (or a constant size) is need to determine
if you have enough to pull a message from the stream, or (as it sounds in
your case), where you should stop reading from the stream for a given
message.

Hey,
Thanks for the quick replies. Surely this isn't due to fragmentation?
Wouldn't fragmentation come down to multiple reads per network packet
being sent? Which would be fine, but all the messages that are being
sent fit within a single tcp/ip packet and are being received as a
single packet.
A message is not a "packet". You can have several messages in one
"packet" or several "packets" for one message.
I have one message per packet, and it is received as one packet also..
When I view Wireshark it clearly shows a time gap between the two
receives and the fact the tcp/ip packet isn't full. This isn't a
problem with it being incomplete, its a problem with it being over
complete.
From reading the documentation I got the feeling that you have to cope
with the received data not being complete and not that you have too
much information.

Nature of TCP/IP lead to the fact that MINA can not guaranty that
every Send call will result to exactly one Read call.
There are ways to fight it by providing custom Decoder to handle
fragmentation.
Please read this:
http://mina.apache.org/handling-packet-fragementation.html
and look at CumulativeProtocolDecoder examples.
