help writing a codec-enabled asynchronous client application

[Tzvika Barenholz <tz...@gmail.com>]

Hi all

I'm writing a simulator that needs to make many (say 1,000) connections to a
server, interact with it using a commutative protocol, and examine the
various server responses. I am familiar with how to write such a *Server*
using the MINA api, but I can't seem to find any sample code or directions
for writing a *client*.

The NIO equivalent work that I would do is create 1,000 SocketChannel
objects, connect them all, register them with a selector, and iterate
forever over the selection keys. How can I accomplish this using MINA?

thx in advance
T

It's essentially same.  Only one difference is that you have to use an
IoConnector such as SocketConnector.  That's all.  Please let me know
if you are stuck with more specific issues.

That's what MINA is currently doing.  Please give SocketConnector a try.

HTH,
