Niklas Gustavsson commented on DIRMINA-660:
-------------------------------------------
Talking with my background in FtpServer, this would be a very nice feature
indeed.
> make Mina a JCA adapter

> Key: DIRMINA-660
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-660
> Project: MINA
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Jürgen Weber
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 3.0.0-M1
>
>
> I think, with its simple but powerful API Mina is the framework of choice to
> develop network based, stand-alone applications. But right now you cannot use
> Mina within an application server in a JEE spec compliant way. The JEE spec
> implicates that for applications needing socket connections (at least
> inbound) or creating threads you need a JCA resource adapter.
> So I suggest that one could also use Mina as JCA Resource Adapter framework.
> In this use case it would plug into an application server as JCA adapter and
> not create any threads but rather use JCA workmangers.
> The classname of the concrete IoHandlerAdapter would be an attribute of
> activation-config. The Mina Adapter would either trigger a message driven
> bean or would handle everything in the IoHandlerAdapter code (which could
> call an EJB, but I am not sure of this).
> E.g. one could deploy Apache FTP server as JCA Adapter in Geronimo and have
> only one Java process to monitor. Also directory server or the derby listener
> could be better integrated in an application server as JCA adapter.
> I think Mina as JCA adapter could be the framework of many use cases. The
> Mina framework would shield the application programmer from the rather
> complex JCA API.
