Best way to create a serverside room Var (owned by server)

I have a server-side room extension and simply want to create a roomvariable for each room.
I have room extensions set and was trying to create the room var on init() like this...
Code: Select all
@Override
public void init() {
trace("ext running.");
User u = null;
Room room = getParentRoom();
ArrayList<RoomVariable> roomVars = new ArrayList<RoomVariable>();
roomVars.add(new SFSRoomVariable("canvas", ""));
SmartFoxServer.getInstance().getAPIManager().getSFSApi().setRoomVariables(u, room, roomVars);
//adding draw class
this.addRequestHandler("draw", DrawHandler.class);
}What is this the best way to do this?
I'm getting errors in the console with the above code.

Hello.
What errors are you getting on the console with that code? Please make sure that the room isn't null.

Here is the error that I see...
If I comment out the setroomvariable line, the error goes away:
//SmartFoxServer.getInstance().getAPIManager().getSFSApi().setRoomVariables(u, room, roomVars);

Also... there are no users in the room at the time of this error. Since this is all in the init() class, it is calling this when the server starts up.

Hmm... I can't reproduce that error, even when using the same code... Are you using the latest SFS2X Final Release 2.0.1? Can you upload your extension as an attachment (preferably the project)?
[EDIT]
Found it. Please don't create the room when the extension inites (in the init() method). Please create the room only after the server has completely started. You can do something like:
Code: Select all
if(SmartFoxServer.getInstance().isStarted()){
//create the room
}else{
//listens to the SERVER_READY event
this.addEventHandler(SFSEventType.SERVER_READY, ServerReadyHandler.class);
}Then you need to create a ServerReadyHandler.class which extends the BaseServerEventHandler and which creates the room.

The room is being created from the config file, but I will try moving it out of the init into another event handler and reply if I have some luck. Appreciate your help.

Thanks - this seemed to do the trick following your guidance...
Code: Select all
public class SetuproomHandler extends BaseServerEventHandler {
@Override
public void handleServerEvent(ISFSEvent evt) throws SFSException {
User u = null;
Room room = this.getParentExtension().getParentRoom();
ArrayList<RoomVariable> roomVars = new ArrayList<RoomVariable>();
roomVars.add(new SFSRoomVariable("canvas", ""));
SmartFoxServer.getInstance().getAPIManager().getSFSApi().setRoomVariables(u, room, roomVars);
}
}
These gotcha's kill me!
