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.
