{ NEW } The Java Extensions CookBook
Posted: 17 Feb 2009, 08:56
by Lapo
Hello everyone,
we have just added a new section in the documentation called the Java Extension CookBook. It is a collection of code examples for many different use cases diveded in different categories: login handling, room creation, room joining, json protocol, string protocol, request dispatching and a lot more.
There are currently over 30 recipes in the cookbook and we'll keep adding them with next updates.
Also we encourage anyone who has an interesting code recipe to post it here or send it to our email. We will be very pleased to grow the cookbook's recipe list with the your help.
Follow this link to consult the CookBook
You will also find it linked in the main documentation menu, chapter 6.x

Small Update:
The chapter related to User Variables are referring to SmartFoxServer version 1.6.5.02 which is not out yet.
It's the next update coming in the next week and it will include a few enhancements on the User variables front.
AS3 and Server-Side extensions
Posted: 17 Mar 2009, 06:25

I moved recently from AS2 to AS3 and am looking for examples, tutorials, etc, in server-side AS3 extensions, but I find none.....
am I right in assuming that from here onwards server-side extensions will always be JavaScript?
It IS true that they are VERY similar.
Thanks,
Mariana

Server side AS3 is not supported. You can use Java instead which is very similar and performs hundreds of times better.
If you prefer to stay with Actionscript then you should use AS1 / Javascript (it's the same thing)

Make sure to have all necessary classes in the classpath when compiling, according to the SFS version in use.
Also using an IDE such as Eclipse or Netbeans will help quite a lot.
You can read about all these things and a lot more here:

joinRoom recipe 1 error
Posted: 08 May 2009, 12:26
by AlecMcE
There's a parameter missing in the helper.joinRoom command. The syntax demands a 'current room' integer variable, but this is not included in the example.

Sorry which server side language are you referring to? Actionscript? Java?

does the new sfsPRO still not allow AS3 Server Side?
Posted: 22 May 2009, 06:40
by Lapo
No, it is very unlikely we will ever support it.
If you need an OOP language for your server side code use Java, you will exploit the full potential of the JVM, including threading, synchronization etc...
Java and AS3 are very similar (actually AS3 is very much "inspired" by Java) but Java outperforms it by orders of magnitude.
If you know your OOP concepts the jump from AS3 to Java is minimal.
Take a look here:

Thanks again for the info, I'd best get used to Java then
hrmm.. although I suppose I could use python, i do know more of that then Java, but then again Java/AS3 are very similar. Stupid decisions...

So if I want to develop my new extensions with java, which java I have to learn? I see books about java 2, java 6, java 7 and some more.
I am developing other projects objectoriented in php, so I just have to extend my knowledge in some topics in java (java syntax, development enviroment and more). That's why I will first take a look into a book in combination with the java extension examples.

Learn Java 5.
In other words any book dealing with Java 5 or higher is great. Java 6 didn't add anything new to the language, while Java 7 is not out yet.
Btw, if you are familiar with OOP in PHP (like PHP 5) you will find yourself pretty much at home because PHP "inherited" a lot from the Java OOP style.

Java appears to be very similar to C# also.
To serve Man ... Its a cook book

I am posting hoping someone can help..
The cookbook recipes for uservariables does not work, nor is it casting correctly for HashMap.
for example.. declaring TYPE_NUMBER by itself throws and error.. and when corrected with UserVariables.TYPE_NUMBER throw an entirely different error.
there is a slew of errors .. is there any class examples that I can glean from ?
