B4J Question Automatic Reconnecting WebSocket-Event fires multiple times

[prajinpraveen]

Hello All,

I am using Automatic reconnecting websocket.
When the server is stopped and started, the client connects to the server, like the way the name suggests.

However, I notice that the button click event is triggered as the same number of times the client loses the connection.
Steps to replicate.
1. start the server
2. click the "guess" button on the browser
3. stop the server
4. client loses the connection
5. start the server
6. client reconnects
7. click the "guess" button on the browser
8. Log shows the event is triggered twice
9. repeat step 3 - 7

any work around to resolve this?

Thank you

This is not the use case that is solved by "reconnecting WebSocket". You need to disconnect the client without stopping the server.
When you stop the server you are clearing the sessions so each reconnection will be treated as a new connection.

Thanks, Erel. I understand it now.
I have a few questions about WebSockets, which I will post as separate posts.

All the best for 2021
