Access to connected clients in a QuickServer from a CommandPlugin in QSAdmin

[Jarl]

Hi

I have seen the need to add custom commands to the admin server. But I need to iterate the connected clients of the server.

I have looked into the source and the controlServer is not passed into the QuickServer admin instance.

Instead this controlServer field is only used inside the QSAdminServer class that creates the actual admin QuickServer object.

I really need access to the control server from the admin server. So getControlServer and setControlServer methods would be nice to have in the QuickServer class.

Of course, for normal servers this will be "this" or even null.

What do you think about this?

To add your own custom commands to admin server you need to implement "org.quickserver.net.qsadmin.CommandPlugin" and set the same in XML (quickserver\qsadmin-server\command-plugin).

From with-in your CommandPlugin you can access the base server (server you like to control) using 

QuickServer mainqs= (QuickServer) handler.getServer().getStoreObjects()[0];

Check out the ftpserver example provided with the distribution.

But as an experienced software developer that uses this tool for the sake of simplicity its a nasty hack and unreadable to access an object Array and cast the first element.  Couldn’t yiu add a get Base Server method in quickserver that will throw a runtime Exception if used by the base server? It should in other words only be used by the admin server. A better way is to extend quickserver for the admin server so that the get base server method is only in the extending class. For ex QuickserverAdmin.
