23 December 2005 - Apache MINA 0.9 Released: A Network Application Framework

The Apache Directory team has announced the release of MINA, a network application framework, version 0.9.

Apache MINA (Multipurpose Infrastructure for Network Applications) is a network application framework which helps users develop network applications easily by providing abstractions of network and protocol I/O layers. The MINA project website includes resources such as an introductory presentation (PPT/PowerPoint (with animations) or PDF (without animations)) and an implementation demo movie. Additionally, 6 examples are provided to help you learn MINA even under serious time constraint.

Feature List:

  • Abstract API which supports various transport types (TCP and UDP)
  • Very easy to learn
  • Unit test friendly
  • Extensible architecture
  • In-VM pipe communication
  • Built-in leader-followers thread pool
  • Support for SSL/TLS including StartTLS
  • Support for text-based protocols
  • Support for stream-based I/O

Changes since 0.8.x:

  • Revamped the overall API reflecting user feedback
  • More utility classes and methods
  • Support for StartTLS
  • Out-of-the-box protocol codecs which helps rapid implementation:
    • Object serialization codec
    • Text line codec
  • A user can specify the number of NIO Selector threads, which can improve the performance when running on a multi-processor machine.

The Apache Directory project team is always open for your feedback. Please let us know what you think about MINA.
