James Strachan commented on CAMEL-1077:
---------------------------------------

Yeah - I think the client and server endpoints would act similar; you could 
route from them or to them. Whether there are 4 (including async + sync) or 
whether sync/async mode is an extension or configuration of the endpoint is 
maybe separate.

The main difference is the server endpoint would use the different connection 
establishment.

Having

{code}
from("mina-server:localhost").bean(Somethings.class);
{code}

could then create a custom mina server with routing logic inside it. If folks 
send to "mina:server:localhost" then it could use the connection details of the 
server endpoint to know how to basically create a normal mina client producer 
to talk to the server's socket etc

> tcp client mode / server mode determined by "to" or "from" elements limits 
> usability.

>             Project: Apache Camel
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: camel-mina
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 1.5.0

> Internally, 
> MinaProducer is coded to create a Mina connector (client mode socket).
> MinaConsumer is coded to create a Mina acceptor (server mode socket).
> Additionally, it appears a producer (client mode socket) is created for a 
> "to" route mapping and a consumer (server mode socket) is created for a 
> "from" route mapping.
> This means an endpoint cannot be created in which the session is initiated by 
> a client and messages are routed "to" the client. 
> The opposite is also true, an endpoint with a "from" route mapping cannot 
> establish a connection to a tcp server.
> This is a major limitation, as we do not often have control over the systems 
> with which we are interfacing.
> Perhaps, the mina::tcp URI could have a parameter the sets the socket mode: 
> tcp.mode=server or tcp.mode=client.
> Hope this make sense, thanks!
