Great :). I hope you succeed in coaxing Sven to write a chapter.

The more written down the better :).

So, do it. Documentation written from a user perspective is often more useful than the one written by the developer. The problems you faced and solved are pretty much the same another user will encounter. So you can answer it best. Don't rely on Sven to write documentation but ask him about things you don't understand.

So I added it to the server section :)

Hi Sven,

That makes a lot of sense :).

Perhaps this could be added to the Getting Started section of the website?

Thanks!

Hi all,

Is anyone else having problems with Zinc servers not starting up correctly when the image is loaded?

After the image starts up the server has an invalid socket handle.

To reproduce, evaluate the following in a workspace, then save and quit the image.

aServer := ZnServer on: 8080.

aServer delegate: ((ZnMonticelloServerDelegate new)

directory: (FileDirectory on: '/Users/sven/Tmp/monticello')).

aServer start

Any ideas?

Mark

Only the default server (ZnServer default) is sent #register on #start so that it will be sent #start/#stop on System #startUp/#shutDown.

Have a look at ZnSingleThreadedServer>>#start and/or follow ZnServer>>#register.

To make this work, either change your example to

aServer := ZnServer defaultOn: 8080.

aServer delegate: ((ZnMonticelloServerDelegate new)

directory: (FileDirectory on: '/Users/sven/Tmp/monticello')).

aServer start

or to

aServer := ZnServer on: 8080.

aServer delegate: ((ZnMonticelloServerDelegate new)

directory: (FileDirectory on: '/Users/sven/Tmp/monticello')).

aServer register.

aServer start

It is by design that not every server is registered (as not everyone needs this behavior).

The default server is an exception because it is used for first time and more casual usage and many people expect this behavior in Smalltalk.

HTH,

Sven
