cannot set room variables with Java API

[olafmol]

Hello,

we use the code from the documentation to set Room Variables:

Code: Select all

Map<String, RoomVariableRequest> rVars = new HashMap<String, RoomVariableRequest>();
RoomVariableRequest variable = new RoomVariableRequest("2500", SFSVariable.TYPE_NUMBER);
rVars.put("score", variable);
sfs.setRoomVariables(rVars, 4, true);

but when looking in the Administrator tool we cannot see any room variables added, and also the onUpdateRoomVariables event is never triggered.

In the debug info it seems the send variables is empty too? We see <vars></vars> strings, with nothing in them

Same situation as I experienced.

I think it's bug at getXmlRoomVariable() in SmartFoxClient.java.
In this function, "boolean" should be SFSVariable.TYPE_BOOLEAN, etc.

I fixed them and tried, then socket connection is disconnected just after room variables changing request is sent. Currently I don't know why it occurs...

[shinsa]

Workaround is found.
Set the room variable when creating a room.
(I experimented room creation in AS3, room variable retrieve in Java)

how did it go?

1 question Lapo, does it matter if this is for Lite, Basic or Pro version?
or is it for all versions?

[Lapo]

We tested using the PRO, should work well with the Basic and it won't work with the Lite version.

Hi, is it possible this has not been fixed or has regressed in 1.6.6.

I create two rooms, one in the config.xml named "y" with a variable "type=y", then other room I create in a java Task which I expect to be named "c2" with a variable "type=c".

While the "type=y" of the initially created room is seen by both the client and the server, the "type=c2" of the extension created room "c2" is seen by the server but not the client.

Perhaps I've misunderstood private, owner, etc?:


In the config/xml:

Code: Select all

<Room name="y" maxUsers="100"
isPrivate="false" isTemp="false"
uCountUpdate="true" autoJoin="true" limbo="true">
	<Vars>
		<Var name="type" type="s" private="true">y</Var>
	</Vars>
</Room>

In Java Extension:

Code: Select all

Room nwRoom = new Room("c", 10, false, "z");
int id = nwRoom.getId();
nwRoom.setName("c" + id);
nwRoom.setVariable("type", RoomVariable.TYPE_STRING,
"c", true, true, null, true); // and other boolean variations

In client AS:

Code: Select all

logMessage("type/id/name: " +
r.getVariable("type") + "/" +
r.getId() + "/" + 
r.getName());

Server side logs:

Code: Select all

y/1/y
c/2/c2

Client side logs:

Code: Select all

y/1/y
undefined/2/c2

Any thoughts?

Rooms on the server set cannot be created like that.
You need to use the server side API, via the ExtensionHelper class.
From there you find a method call createRoom()
