[SOLVED] addMessageListener with Reactor API

[fredfather]

Hi,
I have a problem while trying to send a "general" message to a reactor GUI from a server module.
Here is the server module code on RoomEvent.ADD_CLIENT event :

Code: Select all

m_ctx.getServer().sendMessage("SYSTEM", "Welcome from the server module");

Here is the flex code using the reactor API on reactor ready listener :

Code: Select all

reactor.getMessageManager().addMessageListener("SYSTEM", systemMessageListener);


and the systemMessageListener function :

Code: Select all

protected function systemMessageListener (fromClient:IClient, messageType:String, messageText:String):void {
   ...
   Alert(messageText);
   ...
         }


Please what's wrong ?
Thanks for your help
Fred

hi fred,
are you listening for the RoomEvent.ADD_CLIENT event in a server module or a room module?

if it's a room module, the code looks correct, so the next step is to look at the server-side and client-side logs to see what messages are being sent and received (make sure to set the log levels to DEBUG).

if it's a server module, you won't get any RoomEvent.ADD_CLIENT events, so your message will never be sent. if you want to be notified any time any client connects to the server, register for ServerEvent.CLIENT_ADDED.

Hi Colin,
Here are more details about my code.
I have a server module :

Code: Select all

public boolean init(ModuleContext ctx) {
   ...
   m_ctx.getServer().addEventListener(ServerEvent.CLIENT_READY, this, "onClientReadyRequest");
   ...
}

public void onClientReadyRequest(ServerEvent evt) {
   ...
   m_ctx.getServer().sendMessage("SYSTEM", "Welcome from the server module");
   ...
}


and I have a flex module with the reactor API :

Code: Select all

private function reactorReadyListener(e:ReactorEvent):void {
   ...
   reactor.getMessageManager().addMessageListener("SYSTEM", systemMessageListener);
   ...
}

protected function systemMessageListener (fromClient:IClient, messageType:String, messageText:String):void {
   ...
   Alert(messageText);
   ...
}


The problem is that the flex code never receive the SYSTEM message.
Do I see the SYSTEM message in the logs with the debug mode ?

PS I have a java error if I use the

ServerEvent.CLIENT_ADDED

event in the server module.

Hi,

I always have a pb while trying to send a "general" message from a server module to a flex gui client using the reactor API.

Please, what is the meaning of the debug WARN message "WARN: Message (u7) received for unknown room: []Message: [SYSTEM]" ?

This warning message is generated by the following server module code :

Code: Select all

public boolean init(ModuleContext ctx) {
   ...
   m_ctx.getServer().addEventListener(ServerEvent.CLIENT_READY, this, "onClientReadyRequest");
   ...
}

public void onClientReadyRequest(ServerEvent evt) {
   ...
   m_ctx.getServer().sendMessage("SYSTEM", "Welcome from the server module");
   ...
}

hi fred,
we are writing a test to attempt to reproduce your issue. we'll post the result and code here when the test is done.

Hi Colin,
I just have tried with the API version 1.1.0.1169, it's the same problem.
I'm not sure it's a union problem ... it is probably something I didn't understood about union/reactor.
Thank you for the test.

thanks for checking in the latest version. we're still planning to write an explicit test for this issue and post our findings here. if there is a bug involved, we'll include a fix in our next release.
