If I return true from doDecode and process the first assembled xml document, will I be able to read the subsequent xml documents from that session again?

It would be a great help if you could refine and post your example here at the earliest possible. Once again I truly appreciate you taking the time to help new programmers.

On point 1, I would say as soon as the XML document is complete, process it and write response back onto the session

Well you can use Executors for threading.

Let me refine my program, before I post it here. Will be a while before I can do it.

First of all thanks a lot for this example.

I am one who started the thread “http://www.nabble.com/MINA—design-guidelines-td20077627.html#a20095703″

Do you have any updates on how to handle clients sending very long xml documents? Also any thoughts on how to process mutiple xml documents came as part of single read.

What are your thoughts on the following ideas?
1) Keep reading the data until all the xml documents are read and constructed and then process the xml documents one at a time and write the result back to client session.

2) Create a new thread as soon as an xml document is read and process the constructed xml document using the new thread.

Could you please post the complete code (server & client implementation including the encoders & decoders) for testing the XMLDecoder program in the blog.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I was wondering about your decoder , if someone connect to the server and sends data like “foobarfoobarfoobar…..” etc , the bytebuffer will “explode” (OutOfMemoryError) ?

Here is the code

public void connect(String host, int port) {
NioSocketConnector connector = new NioSocketConnector();
connector.getFilterChain().addLast(“Logger”, new LoggingFilter());
connector.setHandler(new XMLHandler());

ConnectFuture future = connector.connect(new InetSocketAddress(
host, port));

future.addListener(new IoFutureListener() {

@Override
public void operationComplete(ConnectFuture connectFuture) {
if (connectFuture.isConnected()) {
session = connectFuture.getSession();
}
}
});
}

public void send(String xmlData, String ip, int port) throws IOException {
if(xmlData == null) {
logger.error(“Data is null”);
return;
}

// Connect
connect(ip, port);

byte[] data = xmlData.getBytes();

IoBuffer buffer = IoBuffer.allocate(data.length);
buffer.put(data);
buffer.flip();
// write to the session

logger.debug(“Writing to Session”);
while(session == null) {
continue;
}
session.write(buffer);
session.close();
}

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
XMLClient client = new XMLClient();

try {
File f = new File(“pom.xml”);

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));

StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();

String line;

while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
buffer.append(line);
}

client.send(buffer.toString(), “localhost”, 8081);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Hope it helps

Thanks
