You can wait for messageSent event of the last message and then close. Or in 
MINA 0.9, IoSession.write() returns IoFuture object so that you can wait for 
the message to be written.

Question 2: What is the close(true) functionality about? I thought this

All operations are asynchronous, so the connection might not be closed even 
if you called close() method. close(true) ensures the connection is closed 
when it returns.

I would like to have this kind functionality:

As I mentioned above MINA 0.9 returns IoFuture so that you can control it. 
You can wait for the last message to be written at maximum nnn milliseconds, 
too.

I guess you're using 0.7.4-SNAPSHOT or 0.7.3. We didn't officially released 
0.9 yet, but it is believed that 0.9-SNAPSHOT is quire stable IMHO because a 
guy called 'Vinod Panicker' is using 0.9 in his project and not reporting 
any big issues. You could try 0.9 if you really need that feature. But
0.9has a bit different (but more clean) API, so you'll have to learn a
little
bit again to migrate your code to 0.9-compatible.

I'd definitely recommend using the 0.9 stream even though its
SNAPSHOT.  Much cleaner API and no issues as of now.
