[mina] To repeat sessionIdle event or not?

[Trustin Lee <tr...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

There has been quite a lot of requests and questions about sessionIdle event 
because it is fired only once since I/O occurred. It means there's no other 
way to make MINA fire sessionIdle event than performing I/O after the event 
is fired. It looks like many persons expect sessionIdle event is fired 
periodically.

Should we change this behavior, or provide some way to configure this? If we 
have to choose the latter, how?

Any ideas will be appreciated.

If event is fired periodically, it is easy to detect first occurrence (using a
Session attribute) and ignore others. The opposite is not true: if it is fired
once, and you want periodic notification, you are done.

A more elegant solution would be pluggable strategy (FireOnce and
FirePeriodically)

My 2 cents,
