My bad, we're using this:

_dbManager.executeUpdate("select 1");


which might be different from us calling getConnection().
We log a "PING" command right after, and we're using default timeouts now, so we only really see this if we leave a server running alone overnight.

I'm going to change it ...

Hi,

We're still getting "Last packet sent was xxxxxxx milliseconds ago" exceptions in spite of the fact that we send periodic SELECT statements to keep the connection alive.

It seems that when calling getConnection, the connections returned are from a pool, and there's no guarantee that the ...

In the first message in the link I gave you Lapo states that you can join any room even if the room is not in your room list. The room list doesn't affect any other functionality.

I would turn off subscriptions entirely (perhaps by creating the rooms in a non-subscribed group) and just have the ...

ROOM_ADD is only sent to users who are listening to that room group.

Your users should unsubscribe from the room group if they no longer wish to receive the ROOM_ADD events.

No, the code I posted shows sendObjectMessage originating from the server in an extension. It's not a waste of resources to send it to UserA because the message did not originate from him.

I could of course just replace it with sendMessageExtension. I was just curious why the second form wasn't ...

We're using the signature without parameters. Also, we're setting two variables in one setVariables call; the other variable is getting set.

Oh, I should mention I've only seen it happen on NPC users and it's pretty consistent. We're also doing the variable change at the same time that we're doing ...

We're setting all user variables from the server.

Hi,

We have a couple of setUserVariables calls that are supposed to delete some UserVariables by setting them to null.

Oddly, the variables are deleted on the server, but are still present on the client. Am I misunderstanding how setUserVariables is supposed to work or is this expected behaviour ...

Its behaviour a bit inconsistent; in a handler it seems to not send the object message back to the sender. If it's called in a separate thread however, the sender does seem to get the message as well.

Also, is there some way to mimic having a null sender for the cases where the message originates ...

No idea. It's possible, but I rarely check logs when I'm running in console mode.

It's possible you're on a NAT and your public IP is not actually yours but shared among a subnet. In that case, your machine cannot be a publicly visible server without you talking to your ISP and have them redirect a port to you specifically.

Yup, that looks about right; we were missing one finally block.
Odd that getConnection hangs for so long instead of throwing an exception though.

Thanks a lot falcan!

Hi,

Here's a new error we've just seen recently in our logs:

log4j:ERROR Failed to rename [logs/smartfox.log] to [logs/smartfox.log.2011-07-12-12].

Not possible with SFS2X, only with SFS 1.6 Pro

Perhaps SFS2X is starting twice. Check TaskManager or ps -A and see how many java processes are started.
