Apache Mina-mina features

Mina features

Mina is a simple and powerful network application framework that provides the following features:

• Provides APIs for multiple transmission types:
  • TCP/IP & UDP/IP (through Java NiO)
  • Serial Communication (RS232) (via rxtx)
  • JVM internal pipeline Communication
  • You can implement your own network protocol!
• Use the filter interface as the extension point. It is similar to the servlet filter.
• Low-level and high-level APIs:
  • Lower Layer: Use bytebuffers
  • High-level: Use user-defined message objects and codes
• Highly customized thread model:
  • Single thread
  • One thread pool
  • Multiple thread pools (I. e. SEDA)
• SSL-TLS-starttls support (using Java 5SSLEngine）
• Overload Protection & Traffic throttling
• Unit test with mock object
• JMX Management
• Stream-based I/O support (throughStreamIoHandler）
• Integrated some well-known containers (such as picocontainer and spring)
• It can be smoothly migrated from the Mina prototype netty to Mina.
