Apache Mina Reactor Loop

[Rohit Chormale]

Hi guys,
I am trying to use Apache Mina with Android. Can anybody tell me when
Mina's reactor loop actually get started.

for example.

connector = new NioSocketConnector();
connector.getFilterChain().addLast("codec", new ProtocolCodecFilter(new
TextLineCodecFactory(Charset.forName("UTF-8"))));
connector.setHandler(this); //or any another class

for(;;) {

            try {
                ConnectFuture Future = connector.connect(new
InetSocketAddress(HOSTNAME, PORT));
                Future.awaitUninterruptibly();
                session = Future.getSession();
                break;
            }catch(RuntimeIoException e) {
                LOGGER.info("***Failed to connect Server");
            }//try-catch

}//for-Future

session.getCloseFuture().awaitUninterruptibly();
connector.dispose();

As per my testing, 'session' starts loop.
If that is the case then is it blocking or separate thread?
and if it's thread then does it run in main thread or creates its own
thread?

Thank You.
