[Gambas-user] Writing classes to handle incoming socket connections with ServerSocket

[Ronan Chilvers]

Hi folks

I'm really interested in using Gambas to do some socket programming.  I want to write a 'dispatcher' class holding the ServerSocket, which hands off the incoming connections to a 'clienthandler' class to handle that particular connection.

The problem is I can't work out how to pass the sockets around between the classes.  This is the kind of thing I'm doing:-

Dispatcher.class

PRIVATE dSocket as ServerSocket

PUBLIC SUB _new(port)
	dSocket = new ServerSocket as "dSocket"
END

PRIVATE SUB dSocket_Connection(dHost as String)
	DIM obj as ClientHandler
	obj = new ClientHandler(dSocket.Accept())
END

ClientHandler.class
PRIVATE cSocket as Socket

PUBLIC SUB _new(sock as Socket)
	cSocket = sock
END

PRIVATE SUB cSocket_Read()
	'Read data from socket and do stuff with it
	'***** This never executes *****
END

That's the basic idea.  However when I connect to the listening port, the connection immediately drops and the _Read event never fires.  The ClientHandler object is created fine and the child socket is passed through fine, as I can read parameters such as RemoteHost from the cSocket property of the new ClientHandler object.

Any clues would be very much appreciated !  :-)

Cheers

Ronan
