[jira] [Commented] (CAMEL-1077) tcp client mode / server mode determined by "to" or "from" elements limits usability.

Dima commented on CAMEL-1077:
-----------------------------

I have the same issue, Is it possible to configure "To" adapter in server-socket mode. I need to set up one-way communication level.
"From" connects to a remote service as client socket and starts receiving text stream, then I need to forward this stream into server socket. No request-response logic just streaming

 from("netty4:tcp://remote:54321?textline=true&sync=false&clientMode=true&reconnectInterval=1000")
.to("netty4:tcp://localhost:12345?transferExchange=true&textline=true&clientMode=false&sync=false")

For "From" instruction it works, but "To" instruction does not want to an open server socket, it tries to connect localhost:12345 while I want to open the server socket on port 12345

> Internally, 
> MinaProducer is coded to create a Mina connector (client mode socket).
> MinaConsumer is coded to create a Mina acceptor (server mode socket).
> Additionally, it appears a producer (client mode socket) is created for a "to" route mapping and a consumer (server mode socket) is created for a "from" route mapping.
> This means an endpoint cannot be created in which the session is initiated by a client and messages are routed "to" the client. 
> The opposite is also true, an endpoint with a "from" route mapping cannot establish a connection to a tcp server.
> This is a major limitation, as we do not often have control over the systems with which we are interfacing.
> Perhaps, the mina::tcp URI could have a parameter the sets the socket mode: tcp.mode=server or tcp.mode=client.
> Hope this make sense, thanks!
