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

Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-1077:
------------------------------------

I think we should address this for the new camel-netty component.

Netty is clearly taking over mina as the better asynchronous communication framework.

>             Project: Apache Camel
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: camel-mina
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 1.5.0

> 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!
