MINA: Performing synchronous write requests / read responses
- by Matt Huggins
I'm attempting to perform a synchronous write/read in a demux-based client application with MINA 2.0 RC1, but it seems to get stuck. Here is my code:
public boolean login(final String username, final String password) {
// block inbound messages
session.getConfig().setUseReadOperation(true);
// send the login request
final LoginRequest loginRequest = new LoginRequest(username, password);
final WriteFuture writeFuture = session.write(loginRequest);
writeFuture.awaitUninterruptibly();
if (writeFuture.getException() != null) {
session.getConfig().setUseReadOperation(true);
return false;
}
// retrieve the login response
final ReadFuture readFuture = session.read();
readFuture.awaitUninterruptibly();
if (readFuture.getException() != null) {
session.getConfig().setUseReadOperation(true);
return false;
}
// stop blocking inbound messages
session.getConfig().setUseReadOperation(false);
// determine if the login info provided was valid
final LoginResponse loginResponse = (LoginResponse)readFuture.getMessage();
return loginResponse.getSuccess();
}
I can see on the server side that the LoginRequest object is retrieved, and a LoginResponse message is sent. On the client side, the DemuxingProtocolCodecFactory receives the response, but after throwing in some logging, I can see that the client gets stuck on the call to readFuture.awaitUninterruptibly().
I can't for the life of me figure out why it is stuck here based upon my own code. I properly set the read operation to true on the session config, meaning that messages should be blocked. However, it seems as if the message no longer exists by time I try to read response messages synchronously.
Any clues as to why this won't work for me?
