xSocket custom method not working.

[Squall Leohart]

Hello,

I tried to create custom methods:

namespace Server.Modules
{

    /// <summary>

    /// Implement/Override your custom actionmethods, events etc in this real-time MVC controller

    /// </summary>

    [XSocketMetadata("controller")]

    public class MyController : XSocketController

    {

        public override async Task OnMessage(IMessage message)

        {

            await this.InvokeToAll(message);

        }




        public async Task Foo()

        {

            //Send a message to all clients with the topic 'say'

            await this.InvokeToAll("Foo: Hello to all", "foo");

        }




        public async Task Bar(string message)

        {

            //Send out the message that was sent in to all clients

            await this.InvokeToAll(string.Format("Bar: {0}", message), "bar");

        }

    }

}

But when i tried to call it, it go to OnMessage, not Foo.

Hi Squall

The "controller" string is a suffix in the controller names.

See: https://uffebjorklund.gitbooks.io/xsockets-net-5/content/the_basics/your_first_controller.html

So naming your "MyController" to "controller" causes the issue.

Ofcourse it should be handled by throwing an exception telling you that "controller" is a bad name.

We will patch that in the next release. We do not see it as a critical fix since naming it anything but "controller" will be a workaround.

Btw I would remove the XSocketMetadata attribute and just call the controller with the name "my" since the controller part is a suffix (as mentioned).

Thanks for posting your findings!

Thanks.

That made me confuse for a while.
