need some advice for server design

[Fabrizio Loia <fa...@yahoo.it>]

Hi to all,

First of all my compliments, this is a very nice framework...

I began to look at mina in last few days and is very promising.
Right now I am making my first steps with examples and tinkering with
them I hope to understand how framework breathe...

I need to build high performance http/https proxy server... The proxy is
something like 'clickstream' analysis engine. During the traffic I need
to log all request/response pairs with their respective headers, params,
cookies.

I need some advice from people which have more experience than me with
http and async socket io...

1) Does Mina shields me from nio, or I have to study this before
continuing ?
2) What would be the correct way to implement this ?
3) Is there some work already done which can be helpful ?
4) Do I need to implement ProtocolHandler or IO Handler is more
appropriate ?
5) What thread model would be appropriate for around 1000 concurrent
sessions on high-speed intranet ?
6) Is there some kind of async logging framework around ?

Thanks,
Fabrizio

Look at http://asyncweb.safehaus.org/ for an HTTP server built on MINA.

You should be familiar with the concepts of NIO, but you will be  
shielded from much of the nitty gritty.
