MINA broadcast support
|
|

| Hi all,
the MINA website lists (UDP) broadcast support as missing. Is this
information still correct? Do you have any pointers for me, if I were to
embark on a mission to build broadcast support (specifically, something
DHCPish) based on old IO?
Thanks

| Hi Jörg,
AFAIK broadcast is not supported in MINA at the moment.
BTW, MINA related questions are best asked on the MINA developers list.
http://directory.apache.org/subproj...mail-lists.html describes
how to subscribe. I'm forwarding your question below to that list.

It's still correct and we'll be really glad if someone wants to implement
it. Implementing a new transport type (i.e. multicast) is to implement
IoAcceptor and IoConnector interface. Please refer to the implementation
classes such as DatagramAcceptor and DatagramConnector.
I didn't consider broadcasting at the moment I designed MINA API, so you
might have to modify the API to support broadcasting thoroughly. It's OK of
course. I think we need to support multicast before we release 1.0 for the
completeness of the API.
HTH,
Trustin

Agreed would be nice to have multicast for DHCP server implementation
within ApacheDS soon so development on that can continue. This is a big
wish  .

Thanks to all for your input. I'll hopefully find time to have a look at
this stuff some time next week. But don't hold your breath for a fully
functioning DHCP server :-/
