No I wouldn't recommend this approach. It has several disadvantages: 1- it keeps recreating objects 2- you can't keep state because the class gets recreated if there's an error. Adds complexity instead of simplifying things. The mos rational approach is just to catch Exceptions so that the task doe...

Hi, I am facing this very strange problem with Smartfox 2x. I am scheduling a task using sfs.getTaskScheduler().scheduleAtFixedRate(new TaskRunner(), 0, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS); I prefer to use the one time scheduler instead of the scheduleFixedRate(). On your init() method, schedule one task and set ...

Hi, We made a comparison between SFS and Photon, and found 2 weakness in SFS: 1) SFS supports less platforms than Photon. Photon supports Marmalade, Windows, Window Phone and so on, expect Unity3D, iOS, Android and Flash. 2) Photon supports reliable UDP, while SFS doesn't support. We would like to ...

you are already doing it. this forum is their communication channel. they actively reply to our questions here.

Yes you have to override the handleInternalMessage method. Well, you don't add the whole __lib__ folder to your project, only the necessary jars that that specific extension uses. And yes, those jars won't be compiled into your extension's jar, sfs will load them from the __lib__ folder at boot tim...

oh, I see you answered this too. Thank you very much, I will try this override thing now.

Thanks, but how do I listen to the handleInternalMessage() method from my Zone Extension, as described above, it didn't work for me. Do I need to override this method from my Zone Extension? Also, about the __lib__ folder, if I include that on my projects file, it won't get included in the compiled ...

This is getting interesting 8) I have it working by doing this from my Room Extension: ISFSObject soRequest = new SFSObject(); try { this.getParentZone().getExtension().handleClientRequest("InternalRequest", null, soRequest); } catch (SFSException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } Now my Zone Ex...

Thanks for the response Lapo. Really appreciated. 2) was the room actually removed? The destroy is called when the room is eliminated, not when users go away => I solved this by adding setDynamic(true) on my room settings :) now I can see that the Room Extension is getting destroyed when user left t...

Hi Lapo, Regarding my second question above, I have tried this code below but it is giving an error, basically I just want call a getter on my ZoneExtension and execute it from within my RoomExtension using this: MyZoneExtension mainExt = (MyZoneExtension) this.getParentZone().getExtension(); trace(...

First of all, thank you for taking time to reply on my post. I actually read the documents you specified, but I just want to clarify before I start modifying my code. I want to have a clear picture of everything before doing something different. 2) I just tried creating a room from the server side a...

I've been studying the Battle Farm and Tris Flash examples for a while and I have applied some of its techniques like the ConcurrentHashMap on Battle Farm to store game state instead of room variables. But after months of experimentation, I found that the Tris example is more closely related to the ...

i think either way is fast, its just depends on how you implement the code. for SFS2X extension, you have to free the connection manually so that resources will be available for other threads that needs to connect to the database. for PHP/MySQL i think this is done automatically once parsing complet...

I see, I will be waiting for the next relase then. Thanks Lapo.

I am planning to port my Extension to Java 7 to utilize its new features and improve my code. I am just wondering how this will affect the compiled application since SFS2X is shipped with its own JRE which I believe is using Java 6. Can SFS2X run on a Java 7 environment?
