This component is deprecated as the Apache Mina 1.x project is EOL. Instead use MINA2 or Netty instead.
...
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:
...
...
URI format
...
...
You can specify a codec in the Registry using the codec option. If you are using TCP and no codec is specified then the textline flag is used to determine if text line based codec or object serialization should be used instead. By default the object serialization is used.
...
You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&...

| Sessions can be lazily created to avoid exceptions, if the remote server is not up and running when the Camel producer is started. |
|
| You can configure the timeout that specifies how long to wait for a response from a remote server. The timeout unit is in milliseconds, so 60000 is 60 seconds. The timeout is only used for Mina producer. |
| JVM Default | You can configure the encoding (a charset name) to use for the TCP textline codec and the UDP protocol. If not provided, Camel will use the JVM default Charset. |
|
| Only used for TCP. You can transfer the exchange over the wire instead of just the body. The following fields are transferred: In body, Out body, fault body, In headers, Out headers, fault headers, exchange properties, exchange exception. This requires that the objects are serializable.

Using a custom codec
See the Mina documentation how to write your own codec. To use your custom codec with camel-mina, you should register your codec in the Registry; for example, by creating a bean in the Spring XML file. Then use the codec option to specify the bean ID of your codec. See HL7 that has a custom codec.
...
In this sample, Camel exposes a service that listens for TCP connections on port 6200. We use the textline codec. In our route, we create a Mina consumer endpoint that listens on port 6200:
...
As the sample is part of a unit test, we test it by sending some data to it on port 6200.
...
Sample with sync=true
In the next sample, we have a more common use case where we expose a TCP service on port 6201 also use the textline codec. However, this time we want to return a response, so we set the sync option to true on the consumer.
...
...
Then we test the sample by sending some data and retrieving the response using the template.requestBody() method. As we know the response is a String, we cast it to String and can assert that the response is, in fact, something we have dynamically set in our processor code logic.
...
Sample with Spring DSL
Spring DSL can, of course, also be used for MINA. In the sample below we expose a TCP server on port 5555:
...
...
In the route above, we expose a TCP server on port 5555 using the textline codec. We let the Spring bean with ID, myTCPOrderHandler, handle the request and return a reply. For instance, the handler bean could be implemented as follows:
...
...
Configuring Mina endpoints using Spring bean style
...
The sample below shows the factory approach:
...
...
And then we can refer to our endpoint directly in the route, as follows:
...
Closing Session When Complete
...
For instance, the example below will close the session after it has written the bye message back to the client:
...
...
Get the IoSession for message
...
Filters permit you to use some Mina Filters, such as SslFilter. You can also implement some customized filters. Please note that codec and logger are also implemented as Mina filters of type, IoFilter. Any filters you may define are appended to the end of the filter chain; that is, after codec and logger.
...
...
If using the SslFilter you need to add the mina-filter-ssl JAR to the classpath.
For instance, the example below will send a keep-alive message after 10 seconds of inactivity:
...
As Camel Mina may use a request-reply scheme, the endpoint as a client would like to drop some message, such as greeting when the connection is established. For example, when you connect to an FTP server, you will get a 220 message with a greeting (220 Welcome to Pure-FTPd). If you don't drop the message, your request-reply scheme will be broken.
...
Then, you can configure your endpoint using Spring DSL:
