title: Running Apache MINA and Netty within the same JVM
body: <p>I need to run two services within my application. One is a text protocol based socket server and other is a http protocol based server. For the socket server I am using Apache MINA as the NIO Framework while for the http protocol I want to use the Netty HTTP implementation.</p>
  
  <p>I considered consolidating into just one framework (Netty), but I am getting some performance problems with Netty when it comes down to processing large payloads. MINA (2.0.7) does a great job of handling such load on the socket server. I also looked at MINA AsyncWeb for the HTTP server but this project seems to be dead.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, has anyone run into this architectural dilemma. Would it be ok to run both the frameworks within the same JVM on different sockets or is there some stepping on the toes that I am not aware of.</p>
  
  <p>btw: I have run both frameworks as socket servers within the same JVM and successfully load tested them. All I need to do is convert the Netty socket server into a HTTP server.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
