I have downloaded and started the community version of SFSx2. I read everything on their documentation page:
http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/DevelopmentBasics/introduction
Which unfortunately only talks about flash client side code. Nothing about the corresponding server side code, nor about html5 client side which I need.
I downloaded the HTML5 examples, which took me a long time to find (they are here: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/140 )
None of the examples work, as they can't connect to the server. Presumably, this is because the examples only supply client side code. There are no instructions supplied on how to install or run the examples.
I can find no mention on the smartfox documenation on the following:
1) what language is used on the server side. One assumes its java.
2) how does one deploy java code to the smartfox server? I cant find any mention of this in the docs.
3) how does one find and install the server part of the client side examples (which are Tris, GameLobby, BuddyMessenger, AdvancedChat).
I applied to be allowed to post on the smartfoxserver forums, but no reply yet.
I also found it hard so I share what I've found out.
The server extensions are written in Java. I used Eclipse JUNO to write my code.
You can download Eclipse here. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
You export the extension in jar format from eclipse into you extension path. The name of your file has to end in 'extension' eg MyFirstExtension.jar otherwise sfs2x wont recognize it. Your extension path will be something like this: C:\Program Files\SmartFoxServer2X\SFS2X\extensions\MyFirstExtension\MyFirstExtension.jar if your working in windows.
You will find docs on JAVA API here. http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/api-docs/javadoc/server/
This is a link to the basic example code: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/120
Unzip the content into the [SFS2X_install_folder]/SFS2X/www/root/examples folder, overwriting the existing file. Run the index.html file, then navigate to another index.html to open the example. Run the sfs2x-standalone.exe first of course(see below). If you followed the 'server configuration tutorial' on smartfox website and changed the server ports, the examples wont work. Leave the ports alone until you start to understand the server.
This is a link to the flash example code: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/108
You will find the example code for apps mentioned above. They are written in Adobe Flash Builder and Java extensions. I don't know if there is any code for HTML5 but the Java server code and AS3 is there.
I also found that using the standalone server was the way to go rather than using SFS2x as a service. c:\program files\smartfoxserver2x\sfs2x\sfs2x-standalone.exe. Using the exe gives you the command prompt window. You can use the window for debugging and see the state of the server when it starts.
Most of the examples should work without creating extensions but to create an extension out of source examples:
Create and setup a new project in your Java IDE. You will have already set up a workspace.
Copy the content of the /source/server/src folder to your project's source folder.
Add SFS2X Libraries. Go to properties of the project -> Select Java Build Path -> Click Library Tab -> Add external jar. Add 'sfs2x.jar' and 'sfs2x-core.jar' from C:\Program Files\SmartFoxServer2X\SFS2X\lib folder. To create the extension, export jar file to extension path. Restart server.
Another problem I had was the Java Version I was using. I had to use Java1.6 with my version of sfs2x when writing extensions. This was trial and error as there was no documentation. There may be a newer version out now.
I had to copy all the server source into eclipse to try and understand how things were done. It was a way of having all the code in one place. There was a lot of trial and error as getting help is hard. I eventually accomplished what I set out to achieve. Good Luck.
SmartFox Server is easy to use even with extension. documentation Give try to Nuggeta solution for game development too. No extension needed at first. This is optionnal.

Because of cross domain issues I need to run my code (which is HTML & JS) via a server in WebStorm. None of the instructions I can find are simple and straight forward. Can someone give me an idiots' guide to doing this?
Alternatively, I have got Tomcat up and running in Eclipse, but I can't figure out how to import a non-java project into it. Again, instructions that a bear of little brain can follow would be appreciated.
WebStorm comes with a built-in static web server, listening on localhost:63342. All you need to do to run your code on it is right-clicking your .html file and choosing Run.

Hi Markloggers out there,
I am working now a coupe of months with Marklogic, developping xquery, modules, applications on the ML app server etc etc. I use eclipse a lot, I have XQDT up and running for several marklogic servers. We use the console also.
What I miss is a debug functionality... in Eclispe with XQDT I cannot get the debug function working?
What I need is a nice and clean way to quickly test and develop modelules and functions...
This is my basic lib from the ML example documentation:
xquery version "1.0-ml";
module namespace lib = 'http://www.example.com/lib';
declare function lib:user()
{
xdmp:get-current-user()
};
I have this is my XQDT project in eclipse, I have setup a marklogic XDBC server locally and it works ok.
Now I want to use the above module from a file again in the XQDT project in eclipse. But without going to steps of uploading the module to the db etc etc...:
(: XQuery main module :)
import module namespace lib = 'http://www.example.com/lib' at 'lib.xq';
lib:user()
Gives:
XDMP-MODNOTFOUND: (err:XQST0059) Module /lib.xq not found
Question 1: Is there a way to find the module without putting it in a module root? In the docs it says from a XQDT project I could source a module but I cannot get it to work...
Question 2: I can execute arbitrary xquery to the local Marklogic server but if I set a debug flag anywhere in a xgy file in the XQDT project and press the debug button I get a popup saying "The Debug Engine is not properly configured". Can anyone explain to me if it is possible to use the debug option in eclipse XQDT with Marklogic 7 ?
Regards,
hugo
It's best to limit yourself to one question per SO post. After all you can only accept one answer.

That's a problem. You can evaluate an ad-hoc query directly. But if it references a library module, that library module needs to be available to the server. You're going to have to copy it to the server sooner or later anyhow, so do it sooner. I don't use an IDE myself, but can't you set it up to do that for you?
Question 1: Is there a way to find the module without putting it in a module root?
Not in the broadest sense of "module root", no. The docs at https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/app-dev/import_modules talk about how this works. Somehow or other, you need to make the library module available to MarkLogic.
I can't address your last question. I don't use an IDE, and even if I did I probably wouldn't use a debugger. Instead I xdmp:log messages to ErrorLog.txt, and occasionally I'll plant an breakpoint-like error() call in my code.
I'm strugging to get started with the BaseX RESTXQ API.
I've downloaded and installed the latest version of BaseX for Windows. I have started the BaseX Server by clicking the "BaseX Server (Start)" icon that the BaseX installation adds to the Windows Start menu.
It appears that I need to create a file with an .xqm extension (eg. hello.xqm) and put it somewhere.
Do you have a minimal "hello world" type example file eg. hello.xqm to get me started?
Where should I put the hello.xqm file so it runs on my default installation of BaseX?
Where do I need to point my browser to and what should I see if it works?
Thanks.
We noticed that the web files in Version 7.3 of the Windows version of BaseX were accidentally moved to the bin directory. You'll find a pre-packaged RESTXQ module in the latest (stable) snapshot of BaseX:
http://files.basex.org/releases/latest/
You may also have a look into the BaseX RESTXQ documentation:
http://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ
I found really nice slide for creating web application with restxq in BaseX. please see on this paper:
http://files.basex.org/publications/xmlprague2013/slides/Andy-Bunce-BaseX-User-Group-Talk.pdf
also here is very good example

I'm currently working on an shared library based on mono, where I want to put as much business logic of my app as possible.
I used this helpful tutorial.
I managed putting the whole logic for rest-requests in this shared library, but now I'm stuck with soap.
I used the wsdl command of mono to generate Client Stubcode from my wsdl (as described here http://www.mono-project.com/Web_Services).
When I put the generated class to my C# library, which is the root project of my shared library, there is a warning that the Reference to System.Web.Services cannot be found.
So I included the System.Web.Services.dll manually.
For the Android Library Project I added a Reference to ...\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\MonoAndroid\v1.0\System.Web.Services.dll. It compiles without warnings.
But now it comes to the Windows Phone Library Project.
There is no System.Web.Services.dll for WP 7.5, right? I tried with the Mono-Touch dll but it gives me a lot compilation Errors.
Someone knows how I can get out of this?
I actually had some issues with the generated WSDL myself. Turns out that the classes that were generated through the "Create Web Reference" piece of Visual Studio inside of a Mono for Android project ended up causing some big issues when connected to a WCF Web Service. Not sure where I ran into this information, but this is what I ended up doing.
What you need to do is manually create a Service Reference using the SILVERLIGHT SVCUtil.
On my development system it was located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v3.0\Tools
I called it with the below command line:
slsvcutil.exe http://localhost/<path to WCF service endpoint>/service.svc /directory:"<temp directory to store generated cs file>" /noConfig /namespace:"*,<Full namespace of the generated class>"
That will actually generate a CS file that is saved into the path specified by the /directory tag above. Copy that generated cs file to your project directory and then include it in the project.
The problem that I was having that forced me to look for another option was that I was able to pull the data properly using the WSDL generated through the "Add Web Reference" option in Visual Studio, but as soon as I tried to pass the data back up the wire to the web service, everything blew up. Using the Service Reference generated by the Silverlight Service Util actually generated all the code properly for Async operations and after learning how to properly manage those Async operations everything works like a dream.
Since you are generating this new WSDL using the Silverlight Utility, it should work just fine through Windows Phone 7. I believe that the DLL to reference for all of this is the System.ServiceModel dll.
I wish I could remember where I ran across this information, as I would like to give the original author credit, but unfortunately, I don't recall that.
Hope that helps out!

For last 3 days I am struggling in setting up my SVN server. I tried several ways and tools but I found always some issue and bug all the files.
I am planning to use the following tools for this project.
For Server and database - XAMPP (Comes with APACHE and MySql)
Version control server - subversion-1.6.16
Version control client - tortoiseSVN
IDE is Eclipse
Following are my queries
1. Is the above combination of tools and softwares is perfect for my project?
2. Is there any open-source software which provides all the above functionalities combined?
3. If anybody of you has already done such kind of project, could you please share with me which are the correct version of softwares I should use to get it worked error free.
If anybody can provide solution for below I can carry on with my current setup also.
My Error Message from server for current configuration : I tried to setup the svn-win32-1.6.16 with my XAMPP installation by copying the two moduels mod_dav_svn.so and mod_authz_svn.so to my apache modules directory and changed the httpd.conf file with Loadmodules of these the so files and set the location also for these. But when i start the server in error logs I get error message like this - "httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 136 of C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/xampp/apache/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server: The specified module could not be found."
Following are pre-conditions and configurations prior to this error
Location of SVN - C:/SVN/svn-win32-1.6.16
Location XAMPP - C:/xampp/
Changes in httpd.conf file
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
and for location
# Enter this location in your browser to access the repository
<Location /repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath c:/SVN/svn_repos
</Location>
I have created the repository here - C:/SVN/svn_repos
Is the above combination of tools and softwares is perfect for my
project?
That is impossible to answer, because:
a) we don't know what your project is
b) nothing is perfect
But it is definitely an ok combination of tools. If I were you I would not use XAMPP but Zend Server CE instead! You get a nice web GUI for most php configuration needs.
Is there any open-source software which provides all the above
functionalities combined?
No. These tools are maintained for various target audiences and the combination you're asking for wouldn't make much sense in a bundle.
But of course your IDE (Eclipse in this case) integrates nicely with these tools. 'Integrates' means it plays together, doesn't mean it comes bundled with these things.
If anybody of you has already done
such kind of project, could you please
share with me which are the correct
version of softwares I should use to
get it worked error free.
I used to have such a combination (now I'm on Zend Studio with Zend Server CE) and there is no problem with it. The problem is that you're trying to do something unnecessary and wrong.
If you're using XAMPP, you're on a Windows machine, using .so extensions wouldn't do any good at all, Windows needs .dll extensions.
Why do you want to load such extensions anyways? You don't need those in order to get it all working.
Where are your repositories? Only if you want to host your own repositories do you need to run your own server. If that is the case, look at VisualSVNServer. You just install it, no need for integration with anything.
If your repositories are on a location in the net (more likely) you don't need an SVN server, you just need the client. In that case you're ready to go, no need for php extensions. You can checkout repos, commit, export, branch, tag, etc. From within Eclipse or in your file system with TortoiseSVN.
Try it and get back here, if you still experience problems.
