[mina] Hot plug encoders

[Mike Seavers <se...@earthlink.net>]

I only yesterday discovered Mina and I'm glad I did.  My team just  
finished a design for something very similar.

In our design, we implemented an XML configuration file that matches  
protocols with their handlers (among other server configuration  
items).  The system would then use reflection to load the handlers at  
runtime.

Additionally, we are looking at adding an event bus model where a hot  
deployable "strategy" would execute on events that were of interest  
to the strategy.  This was to allow other internal development  
organizations to write their own strategies for specific events, JAR  
them up with the appropriate config fie and the server would load it  
at run time (similar I think to what you've implemented already minus  
the bus)

We begin development in several weeks (our specific application is  
RFID event handling on the order of 180,000 events every 10 seconds).

If any of these features are of interest, we're happy to provide our  
contribution.  If any are already in the works, please let me know.

Best Regards,

Mike

Sounds very reasonable. :)

Otherwise, if you just want to deploy an IoHandler implementation only, you
could create a proxy IoHandler which loads the actual IoHandler class
dynamically.

Cool stuff.  My team has a need for an enterprise service bus, and we 
likely going to use MINA.  If hot deployable services are important to 
you, have you considered running your server in an OSGi runtime, with 
your protocol handlers as OSGi service bundles?
