so im still stuck on this that i can create remote shared object but cant read while im notified about changes. im using trunk version of red5, and flex 4.0 with flash builder. in debug i can see that changeLog has name of the changed value of rso, but object itself has undefined value.
Currently im working on local windows machine, but tried everything on ubuntu server 10.04 and got the same results. i can connect to the room, create a shared object and all client are notified about that, but only the user who changed the value of rso can read the value that one time, other just get undefined value.
Does anybody has any experience with this issue? I would really appreciate any help, because this is just driving me crazy, im for about three weeks, read all tutorials about rso and cant get any solution. I tried with persistent and non-persistent, initiated by server and by client, but all the time get the same results.
there is my code on the client side:
protected function application1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void {
var room_id:Number = vars("room");
connection = new NetConnection();
connection.connect("rtmp://127.0.0.1/video/" + room_id);
connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onConnected);
connection.client = this;
}
private function onConnected(event:NetStatusEvent) : void {
if(event.info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success") {
so = SharedObject.getRemote("video", connection.uri, true);
so.addEventListener(SyncEvent.SYNC, onSync);
so.connect(connection);
} else {
Alert.show("Unsuccessful Connection", "Information");
}
private function onSync(event:SyncEvent):void {
if(so.data["video"] != undefined)
Alert.show(so.data["video"].toString(), "Information");
}
on the server side i have:
ISharedObject so;
IServiceCapableConnection iconn;
public static IScope iroom;
/** {#inheritDoc} */
#Override
public boolean connect(IConnection conn, IScope scope, Object[] params) {
iconn = (IServiceCapableConnection)conn;
if (!super.connect(conn, scope, params)) {
return false;
}
System.out.println("Connected True");
return true;
}
/** {#inheritDoc} */
#Override
public void disconnect(IConnection conn, IScope scope) {
super.disconnect(conn, scope);
}
#Override
public boolean roomStart(IScope room) {
if (!super.roomStart(room))
return false;
createSharedObject(room, "video", true);
so = getSharedObject(room, "video");
System.out.println("Room created succesfully");
ISharedObjectListener listener = new SOEventListener();
so.addSharedObjectListener(listener);
return true;
}
with listener on the client side i cant make output in console and see that rso is changed and what is current value, although im checking the persistence rso file on red5 server and the that look like everything is working and the only thing what is missing is opportunity to read value for all clients.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks
big problem appears not such a big. Problem was with encoding, which is AMF3 by default since AS3 and all i need to do, just change the encoding to AMF0.
connection = new NetConnection();
connection.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
connection.connect("rtmp://127.0.0.1/video/" + room_id);
Hope that helps for anybody, because somehow there is not a lot information about things like these on the net.

I'm trying to implement a web application using ASP.NET MVC and the Microsoft Unity DI framework. The application needs to support multiple user sessions at the same time, each of them with their own connection to a separate database (but all users using the same DbContext; the database schemas are identical, it's just the data that is different).
Upon a user's log-in, I register the necessary type mappings to the application's Unity container, using a session-based lifetime manager that I found in another question here.
My container is initialized like this:
// Global.asax.cs
public static UnityContainer CurrentUnityContainer { get; set; }
protected void Application_Start()
{
// ...other code...
CurrentUnityContainer = UnityConfig.Initialize();
// misc services - nothing data access related, apart from the fact that they all depend on IRepository<ClientContext>
UnityConfig.RegisterComponents(CurrentUnityContainer);
}
// UnityConfig.cs
public static UnityContainer Initialize()
{
UnityContainer container = new UnityContainer();
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new UnityDependencyResolver(container));
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new Unity.WebApi.UnityDependencyResolver(container);
return container;
}
This is the code that's called upon logging in:
// UserController.cs
UnityConfig.RegisterUserDataAccess(MvcApplication.CurrentUnityContainer, UserData.Get(model.AzureUID).CurrentDatabase);
// UnityConfig.cs
public static void RegisterUserDataAccess(IUnityContainer container, string databaseName)
{
container.AddExtension(new DataAccessDependencies(databaseName));
}
// DataAccessDependencies.cs
public class DataAccessDependencies : UnityContainerExtension
{
private readonly string _databaseName;
public DataAccessDependencies(string databaseName)
{
_databaseName = databaseName;
}
protected override void Initialize()
{
IConfigurationBuilder configurationBuilder = Container.Resolve<IConfigurationBuilder>();
Container.RegisterType<ClientContext>(new SessionLifetimeManager(), new InjectionConstructor(configurationBuilder.GetConnectionString(_databaseName)));
Container.RegisterType<IRepository<ClientContext>, RepositoryService<ClientContext>>(new SessionLifetimeManager());
}
}
// SessionLifetimeManager.cs
public class SessionLifetimeManager : LifetimeManager
{
private readonly string _key = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
public override void RemoveValue(ILifetimeContainer container = null)
{
HttpContext.Current.Session.Remove(_key);
}
public override void SetValue(object newValue, ILifetimeContainer container = null)
{
HttpContext.Current.Session[_key] = newValue;
}
public override object GetValue(ILifetimeContainer container = null)
{
return HttpContext.Current.Session[_key];
}
protected override LifetimeManager OnCreateLifetimeManager()
{
return new SessionLifetimeManager();
}
}
This works fine as long as only one user is logged in at a time. The data is fetched properly, the dashboards work as expected, and everything's just peachy keen.
Then, as soon as a second user logs in, disaster strikes.
The last user to have prompted a call to RegisterUserDataAccess seems to always have "priority"; their data is displayed on the dashboard, and nothing else. Whether this is initiated by a log-in, or through a database access selection in my web application that calls the same method to re-route the user's connection to another database they have permission to access, the last one to draw always imposes their data on all other users of the web application. If I understand correctly, this is a problem the SessionLifetimeManager was supposed to solve - unfortunately, I really can't seem to get it to work.
I sincerely doubt that a simple and common use-case like this - multiple users logged into an MVC application who each are supposed to access their own, separate data - is beyond the abilities of Unity, so obviously, I must be doing something very wrong here. Having spent most of my day searching through depths of the internet I wasn't even sure truly existed, I must, unfortunately, now realize that I am at a total and utter loss here.
Has anyone dealt with this issue before? Has anyone dealt with this use-case before, and if yes, can anyone tell me how to change my approach to make this a little less headache-inducing? I am utterly desperate at this point and am considering rewriting my entire data access methodology just to make it work - not the healthiest mindset for clean and maintainable code.
Many thanks.
the issue seems to originate from your registration call, when registering the same type multiple times with unity, the last registration call wins, in this case, that will be data access object for whoever user logs-in last. Unity will take that as the default registration, and will create instances that have the connection to that user's database.
The SessionLifetimeManager is there to make sure you get only one instance of the objects you resolve under one session.
One option to solve this is to use named registration syntax to register the data-access types under a key that maps to the logged-in user (could be the database name), and on the resolve side, retrieve this user key, and use it resolve the corresponding data access implementation for the user
Thank you, Mohammed. Your answer has put me on the right track - I ended up finally solving this using a RepositoryFactory which is instantiated in an InjectionFactory during registration and returns a repository that always wraps around a ClientContext pointing to the currently logged on user's currently selected database.
// DataAccessDependencies.cs
protected override void Initialize()
{
IConfigurationBuilder configurationBuilder = Container.Resolve<IConfigurationBuilder>();
Container.RegisterType<IRepository<ClientContext>>(new InjectionFactory(c => {
ClientRepositoryFactory repositoryFactory = new ClientRepositoryFactory(configurationBuilder);
return repositoryFactory.GetRepository();
}));
}
// ClientRepositoryFactory.cs
public class ClientRepositoryFactory : IRepositoryFactory<RepositoryService<ClientContext>>
{
private readonly IConfigurationBuilder _configurationBuilder;
public ClientRepositoryFactory(IConfigurationBuilder configurationBuilder)
{
_configurationBuilder = configurationBuilder;
}
public RepositoryService<ClientContext> GetRepository()
{
var connectionString = _configurationBuilder.GetConnectionString(UserData.Current.CurrentPermission);
ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(connectionString);
RepositoryService<ClientContext> repository = new RepositoryService<ClientContext>(ctx);
return repository;
}
}
// UserData.cs (multiton-singleton-hybrid)
public static UserData Current
{
get
{
var currentAADUID = (string)(HttpContext.Current.Session["currentAADUID"]);
return Get(currentAADUID);
}
}
public static UserData Get(string AADUID)
{
UserData instance;
lock(_instances)
{
if(!_instances.TryGetValue(AADUID, out instance))
{
throw new UserDataNotInitializedException();
}
}
return instance;
}
public static UserData Current
{
get
{
var currentAADUID = (string)(HttpContext.Current.Session["currentAADUID"]);
return Get(currentAADUID);
}
}
public static UserData Get(string AADUID)
{
UserData instance;
lock(_instances)
{
if(!_instances.TryGetValue(AADUID, out instance))
{
throw new UserDataNotInitializedException();
}
}
return instance;
}
I'm quite new to the Microservice world and particularly vertX. I want my verticle to start anyway even there is no database connection available (e.g. database URL missing in configuration). I already managed to do this and my verticle is starting.
The issue now is that I want my verticle to notice when the database connection is available again and connect to it. How can I do this ?
I thought about creating another Verticle "DatabaseVerticle.java" which would send the current DB config on the event bus and my initial verticle would consume this message and check whether the config info is consistent (reply with success) or still missing some data (reply with fail and make the DatabaseVerticle check again).
This might work (and might not) but does not seem to be the optimal solution for me.
I'd be very glad if someone could suggest a better solution. Thank you !
For your use case, I'd recommend to use the vertx-config. In particular, have a look at the Listening to configuration changes section of the Vert.x Config documentation.
You could create a config retriever and set a handler for changes:
ConfigRetrieverOptions options = new ConfigRetrieverOptions()
.setScanPeriod(2000)
.addStore(myConfigStore);
ConfigRetriever retriever = ConfigRetriever.create(vertx, options);
retriever.getConfig(json -> {
// If DB config available, start the DB client
// Otherwise set a "dbStarted" variable to false
});
retriever.listen(change -> {
// If "dbStarted" is still set to false
// Check the config and start the DB client if possible
// Set "dbStarted" to true when done
});
The ideal way would be some other service telling your service about database connection. Either through event bus or HTTP, what you can do is when someone tries to access your database when connection is not made just try to make some DB call and handle the exception, return a boolean as false. Now when you get a message on event bus, consume it and save it in some config pojo. Now when someone tries to access your database, look for config and if available make a connection.
Your consumer:
public void start(){
EventBus eb = vertx.eventBus();
eb.consumer("database", message -> {
config.setConfig(message.body());
});
}
Your db client(Mongo for this eg):
public class MongoService{
private MongoClient client;
public boolean isAvailable = false;
MongoService(Vertx vertx){
if(config().getString("connection")){
client = MongoClient.createShared(vertx, config().getString("connection"));
isAvailable = true;
}
}
}
Not everything in Vertx should be solved by another verticle.
In this case, you can use .periodic()
http://vertx.io/docs/vertx-core/java/#_don_t_call_us_we_ll_call_you
I assume you have some function that checks the DB for the first time.
Let's call it checkDB()
class PeriodicVerticle extends AbstractVerticle {
private Long timerId;
#Override
public void start() {
System.out.println("Started");
// Should be called each time DB goes offline
final Long timerId = this.vertx.setPeriodic(1000, (l) -> {
final boolean result = checkDB();
// Set some variable telling verticle that DB is back online
if (result) {
cancelTimer();
}
});
setTimerId(timerId);
}
private void cancelTimer() {
System.out.println("Cancelling");
getVertx().cancelTimer(this.timerId);
}
private void setTimerId(final Long timerId) {
this.timerId = timerId;
}
}
Here I play a bit with timerId, since we cannot pass it to cancelTimer() right away. But otherwise, it's quite simple.
Have a WPF app that I am converting to ASP.net and I am having issues with SAP.
When I run this line I get an exception.
RfcDestinationManager.RegisterDestinationConfiguration(Backend);
Exception Message {"exePath must be specified when not running inside a stand alone exe."}
Stack Trace
at System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfigurationImpl(ConfigurationFileMap fileMap, Boolean isMachine, ConfigurationUserLevel userLevel, String exePath, Boolean preLoad)
at System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel userLevel)
at SAP.Middleware.Connector.RfcConfigParameters..cctor()
googling around I saw as similar issue here exePath must be specified when not running inside a stand alone exe
The issue seems to be using ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration rather that System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManagerwhich is what I need to use. Problem is I can't change that as its part of the SAP.Net Connector.
Is there anything I can do?
Edit: My BackendConfig code
public class BackendConfig : IDestinationConfiguration
{
public RfcConfigParameters GetParameters(String destinationName)
{
if ("P38".Equals(destinationName))
{
var parms = new RfcConfigParameters
{
{RfcConfigParameters.AppServerHost, "SAPSERVER"},

{RfcConfigParameters.Client, "010"},
{RfcConfigParameters.Language, "EN"},
{RfcConfigParameters.PoolSize, "5"}
};
return parms;
}
else return null;
}
// The following two are not used in this example:
public bool ChangeEventsSupported()

public event RfcDestinationManager.ConfigurationChangeHandler ConfigurationChanged;

SignalR does not have the ability to have client methods which returns a value. So I am trying to create a helper class to make this possible.
So this is what I am trying to do:
Server side: Call client method and provide unique request id Client(clientId).GetValue(requestId)
Server side: Save requestId and wait for answer using ManualResetEvent
Client side: Inside void GetValue(Guid requestId) call server method hubProxy.Invoke("GetValueFinished", requestId, 10)
Server side: find waiting method by requestId => set return value => set signal
Server side: Method not longer waiting vor ManualResetEvent and returns retrieved value.
I am able to get it work unfortunately. Here is my code:
public static class MethodHandler
{
private static ConcurrentDictionary<Guid, ReturnWaiter> runningMethodWaiters = new ConcurrentDictionary<Guid,ReturnWaiter>();
public static TResult GetValue<TResult>(Action<Guid> requestValue)
{
Guid key = Guid.NewGuid();
ReturnWaiter returnWaiter = new ReturnWaiter(key);
runningMethodWaiters.TryAdd(key, returnWaiter);
requestValue.Invoke(key);
returnWaiter.Signal.WaitOne();
return (TResult)returnWaiter.Value;
}
public static void GetValueResult(Guid key, object value)
{
ReturnWaiter waiter;
if (runningMethodWaiters.TryRemove(key, out waiter))
{
waiter.Value = value;
}
}
}
internal class ReturnWaiter
{
private ManualResetEvent _signal = new ManualResetEvent(false);
public ManualResetEvent Signal { get { return _signal; } }
public Guid Key {get; private set;}
public ReturnWaiter(Guid key)
{
Key = key;
}
private object _value;
public object Value
{
get { return _value; }
set
{
_value = value;
Signal.Set();
}
}
}
Using this MethodHandler class I need to have two method server side:
public int GetValue(string clientId)
{
return MethodHandler.GetValue<int>(key => Clients(clientId).Client.GetValue(key));
}
public void GetValueResult(Guid key, object value)
{
MethodHandler.GetValueResult(key, value);
}
Client side implementation is like this:
// Method registration
_hubProxy.On("GetValue", new Action<Guid>(GetValue));
public void GetValue(Guid requestId)
{
int result = 10;
_hubConnection.Invoke("GetValueResult", requestId, result);
}
PROBLEM:
if I call server side GetValue("clientid"). The client method will not be invoked. If I comment out returnWaiter.Signal.WaitOne();, client side GetValue is called and server side GetValueResult is called. But of course this time the method has already returned.
I thought is has to do with the ManualResetEvent but even using while(!returnWaiter.HasValue) Thread.Sleep(100); will not fix this issue.
Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance!
First, I think that, rather than asking for help in how to make it synchronous, it would be best if you just told us what it is you're trying to do so we could suggest a proper approach to do it.
You don't show your MethodHandler::Retrieve method, but I can guess pretty much what it looks like and it's not even the real problem. I have to tell you in the nicest possible way that this is a really bad idea. It will simply never scale. This would only work with a single SignalR server instance because you're relying on machine specific resources (e.g. kernel objects behind the ManualResetEvent) to provide the blocking. Maybe you don't need to scale beyond one server to meet your requirements, but this still a terrible waste of resources even on a single server.
You're actually on the right track with the client calling back with the requestId as a correlating identifier. Why can't you use that correlation to resume logical execution of whatever process you are in the middle of on the server side? That way no resources are held around while waiting for the message to be delivered to the client, processed and then the follow up message, GetValueResult in your sample, to be sent back a the server instance.
Problem solved:
The problem only occured in Hub.OnConnected and Hub.OnDisconnected. I don't have an exact explanation why, but probably these methods must be able to finish before it will handle your method call to the client.
So I changed code:
public override Task OnConnected()
{
// NOT WORKING
Debug.Print(MethodHandler.GetValue<int>(key => Clients(Context.ConnectionId).Client.GetValue(key)));
// WORKING
new Thread(() => Debug.Print(MethodHandler.GetValue<int>(key => Clients(Context.ConnectionId).Client.GetValue(key)))).Start();
return base.OnConnected();
}
I'm making a small game in LibGDX. I'm saving the player's username locally as well as on a server. The problem is that the application is not waiting for the result of the call so the online database's ID is not saved locally. Here's the overall flow of the code:
//Create a new user object
User user = new User(name);
//Store the user in the online database
NetworkService networkService = new NetworkService();
String id = networkService.saveUser(user);
//Set the newly generated dbase ID on the local object
user.setId(id);
//Store the user locally
game.getUserService().persist(user);
in this code, the id variable is not getting set because the saveUser function is returning immediately. How can I make the application wait for the result of the network request so I can work with results from the server communication?
This is the code for saveUser:
public String saveUser(User user) {
Map<String, String> parameters = new HashMap<String, String>();
parameters.put("action", "save_user");
parameters.put("json", user.toJSON());
HttpRequest httpGet = new HttpRequest(HttpMethods.POST);
httpGet.setUrl("http://localhost:8080/provisioner");
httpGet.setContent(HttpParametersUtils.convertHttpParameters(parameters));
WerewolfsResponseListener responseListener = new WerewolfsResponseListener();
Gdx.net.sendHttpRequest (httpGet, responseListener);
return responseListener.getLastResponse();
}
This is the WerewolfsResponseListener class:
class WerewolfsResponseListener implements HttpResponseListener {
private String lastResponse = "";
public void handleHttpResponse(HttpResponse httpResponse) {
System.out.println(httpResponse.getResultAsString());
this.lastResponse = httpResponse.getResultAsString();
}
public void failed(Throwable t) {
System.out.println("Saving user failed: "+t.getMessage());
this.lastResponse = null;
}
public String getLastResponse() {
return lastResponse;
}
}
The asynchrony you are seeing is from Gdx.net.sendHttpRequest. The methods on the second parameter (your WerewolfsResponseListener) will be invoked whenever the request comes back. The success/failure methods will not be invoked "inline".
There are two basic approaches for dealing with callbacks structured like this: "polling" or "events".
With polling, your main game loop could "check" the responseListener to see if its succeeded or failed. (You would need to modify your current listener a bit to disambiguate the success case and the empty string.) Once you see a valid response, you can then do the user.setId() and such.
With "events" then you can just put the user.setId() call inside the responseListener callback, so it will be executed whenever the network responds. This is a bit more of a natural fit to the Libgdx net API. (It does mean your response listener will need a reference to the user object.)
It is not possible to "wait" inline for the network call to return. The Libgdx network API (correctly) assumes you do not want to block indefinitely in your render thread, so its not structured for that (the listener will be queued up as a Runnable, so the earliest it can run is on the next render call).
I would not recommend this to any human being, but if you need to test something in a quick and dirty fashion and absolutely must block, this will work. There's no timeout, so again, be prepared for absolute filth:
long wait = 10;
while(!listener.isDone())
{
Gdx.app.log("Net", "Waiting for response");
try
{
Thread.sleep(wait *= 2);
}
catch (InterruptedException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static class BlockingResponseListener implements HttpResponseListener
{
private String data;
private boolean done = false;
private boolean succeeded = false;
#Override
public void handleHttpResponse(HttpResponse httpResponse)
{
Gdx.app.log("Net", "response code was "+httpResponse.getStatus().getStatusCode());
data = httpResponse.getResultAsString();
succeeded = true;
