integration-beans

[Mark Webb <el...@gmail.com>]

I am wondering if much work has been done on this lately.  I have really
gotten into using Spring on my current project and have noticed that there
is not as much support for Dependency Injection / beans in MINA as I thought
there was.  What does the community think?  Do others agree, or just not
using this technology as much.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but here are a few examples where I have
found MINA to be lacking:

1. You can only use an ExecutorFilter without parameters.
2. The LoggingFilter is not set up to have properties set
3. There is no way to order filters for an Acceptor

I have others documented at work, I just don't remember them now.  Let me
know if I am either missing something, or we need to work on this.  If
people agree that more work is required, I will step up and try to fix
things.

Thanks
Mark

Hey Mark,

We use the spring integration a lot for Apache Directory but I think we
chucked much of it and switched over to using xbeans which basically wraps
the Spring configuration anyway.  It was a year or so back before XBean
fixed a bunch of issues (as well as caused some) with Spring integration for
us.  We did have the headaches you mentioned above and that's one of the
reasons why we never had the log filter for example as part of the
configuration which we should have.

I am definitely a strong Spring user and would like to see better spring
support for mina. I had to roll out my own FactoryBean for
StateMachineProxy.

Good luck on your work,


Simon
