socket adapter connecting to Java Server

[tomdiver]

I am trying to pass data to a java server through the socket adapter and the trace files shows data being sent, but the server is not receiving it. The map does connect on the server port but does not receive the data.

Trace file:

<2728-2976>: Host 127.0.0.1 port 3456 ... socket number 13040
<2728-2976>: Putting message ...
<2728-2976>: Message type:ISIZED
<2728-2976>: 18 bytes passed by the engine

<2728-2976>: Disconnect, exit: Wed Jul 26 11:38:36 2006

Second, I send back a simple msg back, after connection is made and the map shows no data being received.

My command is:

=GET("SOCKET","-HOST 127.0.0.1 -PORT 3456 -CCON SHARED -T+ -ISIZED ",PACKAGE(out1) )

where out1 is the data from card 1 I am sending.

I am using Merc 6.7.1.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tom,

I think you should be using "-CCON EXCL", you probably want the connection to close after reading a message.

Also, have you got a sample of the data you expect back? The first four bytes must be the length of the result and it must be in binary (i.e. not ASCII).

Cheers,
Olly.

Can you run the socket example?

Hi OllyC,

I tried your recommendation of -ccon excl and it works!

Also, I was truncating 2 of the 4 length bytes

therefore it was sending 2 ascii chars as length.

Thanks for the quick repsonse.
