Hrm, well, if that is the case, then there are two problems: 1) We're connecting with multiple sessions just fine one one connector and 2) The documentation does not specify this anywhere that I can see.
Since they're both IoServices, which appear to handle multiple sessions each, that was my assumption, and it's been running fine that way for many months.... In honesty, I don't think it makes sense to enforce one session per IoConnector, since that implies separate processing threads handling multiplexing for a single connection each (by default). You could all use the same IoProcessor of course, but is that also necessary over one connector? Is that really how it's supposed to be? The NioSocketConnector (not that I ever use that directly) uses the same interface as the Acceptor, allowing for multiple socket handles, etc., so there doesn't appear to be any real difference in usage. The implication of both Connector and Acceptor using the same IoService is that you can use them similarly. Only difference is one you accept incoming sessions and the other you connect new outgoing sessions, and there's no indication of a limit or difference in needing to create many Connectors vs. one Acceptor. As I read through all the documentation, my assumption has always been that they worked similarly, allowing many sessions per connector. That way, connection can be pre-configured with filters, etc. just once, then reused as needed to create new sessions. I found this to be one of the better aspects of MINA was that ability to do connection configuration just once if you wanted... It it's only supposed to be one IoConnector per session, then the documentation needs to be MUCH more clear. And the code should produce errors when trying to do so, as our code is working perfectly fine with multiple simultaneous session per connector.
