IOException: Can't create Service [General fail]

[Felipe Somolinos]

Hi,

I am trying to implement this following little example:

public class EchoServer {
   
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {
           
            LocalDevice.getLocalDevice().setDiscoverable(DiscoveryAgent.GIAC);
           
            // 001583B3D0CC
           
            StreamConnectionNotifier notifier = (StreamConnectionNotifier) Connector
                    .open("btspp://localhost:1231242432434AAAABB;name=EchoServer");
           
            displayConnectionString(notifier);

            while(true) {
                StreamConnection conn = notifier.acceptAndOpen();
                OutputStream output = conn.openOutputStream();
                InputStream input = conn.openInputStream();

                byte[] data = new byte[10];
                int length = 0;
                while ((length = input.read(data)) != -1) {
                    System.out.println(new String(data, 0, length));
                    output.write(data, 0, length);
                    output.flush();
                }

                output.close();
                input.close();
                conn.close();
            }

        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("IOException: " + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    private static void displayConnectionString(StreamConnectionNotifier notifier) {
        try {
            LocalDevice device = LocalDevice.getLocalDevice();
            ServiceRecord record = device.getRecord(notifier);
            String connString = record.getConnectionURL(ServiceRecord.NOAUTHENTICATE_NOENCRYPT, false);
            int index = connString.indexOf(';');
            connString = connString.substring(0, index);
            // Display the connection string on the Form
            System.out.println("Connection String: " + connString);
        } catch (BluetoothStateException e) {
            System.out.println("BluetoothStateException: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

However, it keeps throwing an error at the line
StreamConnectionNotifier notifier = (StreamConnectionNotifier) Connector.open("btspp://localhost:1231242432434AAAABB;name=EchoServer");

Follows the error:
BlueCove version 2.0.3 on bluesoleil
IOException: Can't create Service [General fail]
java.io.IOException: Can't create Service [General fail]
    at com.intel.bluetooth.BluetoothStackBlueSoleil.rfServerOpenImpl(Native Method)
    at com.intel.bluetooth.BluetoothStackBlueSoleil.rfServerOpen(BluetoothStackBlueSoleil.java:367)
    at com.intel.bluetooth.BluetoothRFCommConnectionNotifier.<init>(BluetoothRFCommConnectionNotifier.java:39)
    at com.intel.bluetooth.MicroeditionConnector.openImpl(MicroeditionConnector.java:383)
    at com.intel.bluetooth.MicroeditionConnector.open(MicroeditionConnector.java:163)
    at javax.microedition.io.Connector.open(Connector.java:81)
    at com.jabwt.book.EchoServer.main(EchoServer.java:25)

This "General fail" doesn´t means anything for me. Could anyone help me with this?

Thanks.

New version of bluesolei do not have compatible API for version 2 used
to create bluecove
Even so bluecove may work some time on versions 3 and 5 of bluesolei software

[Felipe Somolinos]

Wow!!! Thanks. I would never notice it.

[Felipe Somolinos]

Sorry Vlad, but I haven´t noticed this specification anywhere at www.bluecove.org. How can I find this information? I have already seen loads of bluecove users with the same issue on foruns and I think that is a so much valuable piece of information to not being visible to the users.

Thanks.

Also I'm very bad at wring the documentation! Suggest improvements
corrections and so on...

And There is public Wiki http://bluecove.wiki.sourceforge.net/ So
anybody can contribute his knowledge.

[Felipe Somolinos]

Excelent Vlad! I´ll go there.

But I leave here my suggestion of a highlight to this stacks question.

Even with the bluecove wiki on sourceforge, the documentation at the project site is the main source of information to the users. And I didn´t know about this sourceforge wiki. You could link it on the official documentation with a link like "Community Documentation". I think it would be much more useful.

Thanks for your attention.

[Vlad Skarzhevskyy]

There are already link from http://code.google.com/p/bluecove/ in Links
I should update the http://www.bluecove.org/ as well... But there are
so many stuff TODO.

Anyway I'm living for 3 weeks vacation. So don't expect any answers
from me until October.

The IVT dongle doesn´t work with BlueSoleil stack version 3.2.2.8 as assigned at Bluecove documentation. It only worked with version 2.3.
I had to downgrade from stack 6.* to 2.3 testing each one of the BlueSoleil stack´s versions. I think that it would be excelent if this was updated on the documentation.

Thanks.

[Vlad Skarzhevskyy]

The problem is that is was working for me! And I tested the code on
version 3 of IVT stack!
