ServerChannel Class

Once the communcation is established with the NetServer, the application is able to receive transaction requests, send unsolicited data, and provide other services to the clients of an NetServer.

A server application is constructed by extending the ServerChannel class and then overriding the ProcessXXXXXXX methods. For example, the ProcessTransaction method is called each time the server receives a transaction request from an NetServer client application (see ClientChannel for details about building NetServer client applications).

The following example uses ServerChannel to implement a server application named "SampleServer". This server is very simple: it just echos the data received in all transaction requests:

using OBCOM.NetClient;

public class SampleServer : ServerChannel
{
    // Called when a transaction request arrives
    public override void ProcessTransaction(string name, Message message)
    {
         SendAckReply("The reply message is " + message.Data);
    }

    // Startup method of SampleServer
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        SampleServer server = new SampleServer();
        server.Execute("CSERVER", "nets://host:10102", "http://host/layouts/*.jsp");
    }
}
