Thanks Mark! would be waiting for this :-) Just to give you my thoughts on this. Although my end needs are slightly different than your, but yes our solutions share something in common
We can develop real good and high performance application with MINA, but the enterprise Environments need more than that, reliability is one of the key requirements:-) Once we receive a message we have to ensure that, we process it and respond. And this is what I intended to do 1. Once the message is received and is not lost, coz of a crash (something like clustered cache) 2. Response must be sent for each message received (for 99.99% cases), calls for clustered session management It lead me to think that having a clustered/load-balanced IoFilter chain can be good option. . Also, didn't want to reinvent the wheel as most App servers do this, so the question is 1. should we do it at network layer in MINA as I am thinking, or 2. We take the messages till handler and let it handle the same, and use MINA just as networking function, something similar to what Tomcat coyote connector does. - ashish On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 5:17 PM, Mark Webb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks.
