All,

I have tried EM in the past. Trying it again, but lost on something so simple....

I have a module with this

def post_init

puts "Established connection to server"

end

when I

EM.run {

EM.connect <server-ip>, <server-port>, Module

}

The post_init is run even when a connection is not established. Also, if I supply a block it is run. It as if my client as made a connection when I know it has not. What is wrong here? I'm using jruby and the java version of this, so maybe I need to ask the author of that. But, I just wanted to clarify that this is not the correct behavior, right?

Using the Java version and JRuby to right a hardware simulator that is a client using Monkeybars and EM and StateMachine. Any thoughts, if this is doable or suggestions?

Thanks,

GregD

It's the correct behavior. Check:

Thanks. I was mislead by this in the post_int description....

EventMachine::Connection#post_init is called by the event loop immediately after the network connection has been established,
