You have a special object calld FileRegion which is a wrapper on top of a FileChannel. Using it will allow MINA to send a huge file without storing it in memory, AFAIK
I'm not sure it can be encoded with the codec FILTER though (my understanding is that the file is considered as already encoded, and bypass the encoding process).
