I've been able to get the timeserver sample to work, and it looks like it will do most of what I need, with some minor changes. But the one thing I can't figure out is how to support multiple simultaneous clients. ie. I need some way to create multiple servers (one per client),
Hopefully not ! Oherwise, what would MINA be good for ?
or to determine which client has sent some data so that I can route it to the correct handler.
Simple : each client has its own session.
If I can't do this, the incoming data might be interleaved. Is there a way to do this?
It's all automatic. When the handler messageReceived() method is called,
it's for one single session. There is no way some other session's data
will interact with another.
In NIO, you can look at a key to see what connection data is associated with. Is there a way to separate data by keys?
It's already done. A session is attached to each key.
Do I have to create multiple server instances (one per client)?
That would be crazy :)
Really, MINA does that for you. One simpe rule: one client, one session.
One hundred thousands clients, one hundred thousands sessions (it has
been tested up to these numbers ;)
