Hi folks,
Until now I had only implemented server apps with MINA (IoAcceptor), and no
client apps (IoConnector).
I started working on a small tutorial about ProtocolDecoder/ProtocolEncoder
to complement Mark's Getting Started Guide,
and while implementing the client side I was wondering if a ReadFuture would
be an interesting feauture.
Suppose you have a request-response protocol and you want to implement the
client synchronously:
connect, send a request and wait until the response comes in.
What is currently the best way to go ?
With a ReadFuture it could be done like this:
Object request = ...;
ConnectFuture connectFuture = connector.connect(new
InetSocketAddress("localhost",5555));
connectFuture.join(100);
if (connectFuture.isConnected()) {
IoSession session = connectFuture.getSession();
session.write( request );
ReadFuture readFuture = session.read();
readFuture.join();
if (readFuture.messageRead()) {
Object response = readFuture.getResult();
doSomethingWith(response);
}
session.close().join();
}
What do you think ?

Hi folks,
Today, I added a new feature to the trunk. The issue has been filed
since the early days of MINA, but we didn't give it high priority
because it was a good-to-have feature. I apologize those who wait for
this issue to be resolved for a long time.
The Request-Response filter is very useful for a client application
that deals with a request-response protocol. Please refer to my last
comment of the following JIRA page for the detailed explanation and
example:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-92#action_12488311
Any questions and additional feature request on this filter are welcome.
