I'm converting the quicfixj from netty2 to mina and [think] I am nearly 
done. (BTW, I did not write the orignal netty2 layer for quickfixj, so I'm l
earning as I go.)

But I can't figure out one thing. With netty, quickfixj would save off its n
etty Session instances, and on a timer would check if they have dropped thei
r connection. If so it would invoke Session.start().

Is there any corresponding capability in mina? I'm using the ProtocolConnect
or, but it does not seem to retain the socket address after the invocation t
o connect. (Where netty Session did retain this information.) Am I going to 
have to create a little cla
ss to hold onto the socket address for reconnection?

You're right. I removed Session.start() method. I added IoConnector 
instead. Here is the example code:
public void sessionClosed( ProtocolSession session ) throws Exception
{
// Wait for five seconds before reconnecting; you'll have to perform 
reconnection in other
// thread actually. I just slept here for brevity.
Thread.sleep( 5000 ); 
// Reconnect.
connector.connect( session.getRemoteAddress(), this );
}
Possibly you'd better to extract this code to a method like 'reconnect()' 
so that it can reusable in more than one place.
