BlueBox for iOS

[A51Integrated]

I have a local installation and a server installation of 2.2.0 running and both work with BlueBox. I'd try the main forum since the guys who handle the server can take a better look at this than I can.

Unfortunately BlueBopx.war from patch 2.1.0 often without any patter will throw

Well, you're now using a mix and match version of the server. So I'd try and track down the issue that makes 2.2.0 not work. As I've mentioned, I have two installs working fine. Post to the main forum so the guys can have a look.

[mmilen]

Both BlueBox.war files are dated May 2nd. Can you email me your war file to milen@ggp.co .

I am not following very well. In the first message you showed an ClassNotFound error relative to a class that is actually included in the patch. It sounds like you might have a corrupted file in your installation.

Then you reported a second more generic issue of not being able to connect to the BlueBox using version 2.2.0.
Actually I am in no way able to reproduce such problem. I would like to get more info and step by step description of how to reproduce the problem.

[mmilen]

Hi,

Here is the setup.

Mac OS Lion, SFS 2.2.0 and BlueBox.war dated May 2nd. Most of the files in the war file are dated Feb 2nd 2012, with the exception of BlueBox.class and BBClient.class dated may 2nd.

The App is the same Bridge app as in the past, it is working fine via socketed connection and most packets are in the range of 1K, with very rare exceptions going over to 10K.

Here is my config file:
<SmartFoxConfig>
<ip>192.168.80.103</ip>
<port>3933</port>
<debug>true</debug>
<useBlueBox>true</useBlueBox>
<httpPort>8080</httpPort>
<httpPollSpeed>750</httpPollSpeed>
<zone>SocialBridgeTables</zone>
</SmartFoxConfig>

<port>3933</port> is on purpose messed up so that BlueBox connection is forced. If I put in the right port number 9933 everything works like a charm over socketed connection.

The app connects via Blue Box and authenticates:
12:48:17,019 INFO [989279323@qtp-239228739-4] sessions.DefaultSessionManager - Session created: { Id: 5, Type: BLUEBOX, Logged: No, IP: null } on Server port: 0 <---> 0
12:48:19,553 INFO [pool-1-thread-1] api.SFSApi - User login: { Zone: SocialBridgeTables }, ( User Name: milen, Id: 3, Priv: 0, Sess: 192.168.80.103 ) , Type: IOS version: 5.1

then I create a room and join that room:
12:48:33,289 INFO [com.smartfoxserver.v2.controllers.ExtensionController-3] managers.SFSRoomManager - Room created: { Zone: SocialBridgeTables }, [ Room: Table: milen, Id: 4, Group: default, isGame: true ]

My game starts and at random point (usually after the first 3-4 packet exchanges) I get this on the server side:

Which results in this error on the client side :

2012-08-30 12:49:35.588 iBridgeBaron[27403:10a03] *** -[CFArray release]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x14f00d90

[mmilen]

Here is something that might help. When the compression threshold on the server is 1024 and I send much larger packet of about 10K. The communication freezes and I get this on the server side :

13:12:41,909 WARN [1321312491@qtp-628029189-7] binary.BinaryIoHandler -

The error I have in my previous post is with compression threshold of 10240000. Before the framework API was release the compression did not work ont he client side so I had to basically disable it.

[Lapo]

Please contact us via the support@ email. I will send you a couple of jar files so we can make sure we're looking at the same thing
Thanks

[mmilen]

you can email me milen@ggp.co .

[A51Integrated]

Can you provide the exact steps to replicate the issue? What objects/messages are you sending to the server etc and in what order. Thx.

[mmilen]

I have emailed Wayne and the support a complete log file of a BlueBox session up until the crash. Here are the last few entries.

I see the new version of the API with armv7s support. Do you have an idea when BlueBox can work with special characters in UtfString variables. Currently sending HTML snippet over BlueBox is impossible, but works like a charm via SOCKET.

[A51Integrated]

We've discovered that this is not a bug specific to the iOS API (it exists in the .NET API as well) and it has to do with the various methods that exist for Base64 encoding.

We're actively looking for a solution.

[mmilen]

Thank you for the update. Will wait for the next build of the framework then.

I have a second question, how do one manages the BlueBox timeout. I have a server with user inactivity timeout set to 2 minutes. However that same server will drop BlueBox connections in around 40 seconds.

[Lapo]

Are you still talking about the iOS API?
