So you're using JCA.
MINA will fit perfectly to your use case IMHO. You can also use just plain sockets, but I think using MINA will be better for the maintainability of your application.
It's not overkill at all for you to use MINA. MINA is designed to fit both with simplistic and with complex protocols. If you found it is not, please let us know. We're always open for criticism. :)

-- I'm need to implement socket tcp/ip communication from a J2EE application (using JBoss). They prefered way of doing this from a J2EE container is (as I have understood it) to implement a Java Connector solution.
So you're using JCA.
Question 1: Could I ( and should I) implement a Java Connector solution using MINA? Or is there another preferd way of doing this?
MINA will fit perfectly to your use case IMHO. You can also use just plain sockets, but I think using MINA will be better for the maintainability of your application.
Question 2: The protocol we are using is very simple and the traffic load is not high. Is it overkill to us MINA? I'm considering doing the socket implementation my self.
