May I suggest to make Transportables "nestable" (ie. having nested packets), example :

Code:

- GameInfo
  - PlayerInfo
    - short : health
    - vector3 : position
      - float : x
      - float : y
      - float : z
  - int : timeStamp

Do you understand what I mean ?

Well, I think, I understand, what you mean. But I also think, it is something different. Nestable might be some kind of a Transportable-extension.

Has anybody found any interesting results after running the Mina test code through YourKit or JProfiler?

Not yet. But I hope, I can do this in the following week.

Hi everyone,

Looks interesting. Could you possibly create a little testcase, that shows, how to use it?

And what about GC-friendliness? Any information about that?

It's not free for commercial usage.

It uses one or many centralized servers (according to http://update.multiverse.net/wiki/index.php/Multiverse_Platform_Architecture) and a ordinary database (not Berkerly Database). A single database machine, it seems.

If the above information is correct, Multiverse is inferior to SGS (http://projectdarkstar.com) performance wise (database and servers are bottlenecks) and stability wise (many single points of failure, which takes the whole system down).

I would definitely not want to stick to any specific client/server technology, but built an abstraction layer to that. Then we could use the one or the other or even our own proprietary solution. But to know, what the abstraction should be like, I would need to know the different architectures' features and APIs. That's the major reason, why I would want to see a testcase of Multiverse usage.

Hi Marvin,

I'll try to create a testcase though I'm not sure it can be little  ...
Also, it's not clear for me now what the testcase should cover.
Anyway, some investigation is required.

And what about GC-friendliness? Any information about that?

All sendable classes in multiverse implement Marshallable interface. It contains two methods to encode/decode objects from byte buffers. Typically, object decoded into this and decoding method returns this. So, no extra instances are created.

Cool. Thanks.

It should cover, how to connect to a server, how to send basic data and how to know, who sent them. Well, maybe more... I am not a network specialist .

Good to know.
