Hello, There is I believe a large user community (including me) of mina which would like to see more active asyncweb development. Recently for one of my projects I used the safehaus asyncweb version in place of servlets as my architecture needed asynchronous request processing. This contributed (apart from other architecture changes) in giving major scalability - almost 10X and though it is an old version of asyncweb and MINA, there have been no problems I faced. Asynchronous request processing is a feature that would be included only in Servlet 3.0. Till the time it gets supported in all the major app servers, the java community is banking on open source frameworks like asyncweb, grizzly, etc for asynchronous request processing.
Recently I downloaded grizzly source code to compare its support for HTTP and NIO. Grizzly is being very actively supported development-wise by Sun as it is the base of Glassfish. It has recently also ported tomcat code to enable loadbalancing and proxying by apache HTTP web-server. However, I found that the API of asyncweb is easier to use than grizzly. Hence I am not yet keen to switch to grizzly from asyncweb and I would like to see more active development in asyncweb. Now the svn repository for safehaus asyncweb is no longer available which is a little worrying for me as I don't have the source code to make bug fixes if something goes wrong. Like I said, I really liked the asyncweb API and would really appreciate if there is active development and a new release on it. If that is not immediately feasible, can at least the safehaus asyncweb source code be made available?
