"Smartfoxserver2x Setup in Eclipse"

Writing SmartFoxServer2x Extension Program in Eclipse (step by step)

Follows These steps To Create/Configure New Zone

Step 1:- Open Eclipse and create a New Java Project

Step 2:- Name The Java Project I assumed it as "MySFSPorject"

Step 3:- Create a library folder named "lib" to place SmartfoxServer2x library files to create SmartfoxExtension.

Step 4:- In order to create a SmartFoxServer2X Extension program we need the following jar files, those are available in SFS2x-<lib folder select those

1. sfs2x.jar
2. sfs2x-core.jar
3. log4j-x.jar
4. slf4j-api.x.jar
5. slf4j-log.x.jar

Copy the above jars and paste it into lib folder created in the earlier step.

Step 5:- Add the above pasted jars to java build path as
Select project -< rightclick and select “properties”-<select ‘javabuildpath’ - < Select ‘Libraries’ Tab -< Click ‘Add Jars’ -< select the above 5 jars pasted in your ‘lib’ folder -< press ok button.

Step 6:- Create a new ‘Class’ named MySFSExtension under package 'com.tutorialtous.smartfox' as a child class of SFSExtension.
New-< java class

Step 7:- Now Write the following code in MySFSExtension.java file

package com.tutorialtous.smartfox;
import com.smartfoxserver.v2.extensions.SFSExtension;
public class MySFSExtension extends SFSExtension {
  public void init() {
    trace("MySFSExtension Init method fired");
    initEventHandlers();
    initClientRequestHandlers();
  }
  private void initClientRequestHandlers() {
    
  }
  private void initEventHandlers() {
  
  }
  @Override
  public void destroy() {
    trace("MySFSExtension destroy fired while Smartfox is going down");
  }
}

Step 8:- Create a Folder under extensions folder (SFS2X-<extensions), I am creating a folder name MyExtension (SFS2X-<extensions->MyExtension).

Step 9:- Now Create a Jar file using Exports option of eclipse by selecting the current project src. Means

• Select src folder project
• Right click , choose EXPORT option and select JAR option.
• Now Browse button and select the extension folder created in last step
• Name the jar and press ok
•

Step 10:- Configure/Create the zone (I created a zone named ‘CasinoGameServer’ under zones folder)
Main Part to configure is

              <extension>
    <name>MyExtension</name>
    <type>JAVA</type>
    <file>com.tutorialtous.smartfox.MySFSExtension</file>
    <propertiesFile></propertiesFile>
    <reloadMode>AUTO</reloadMode>
  </extension>
              

Step 11:- :- Restart the SmartfoxServer using batch file sfs2x.bat located in SFS2x folder SFS2x-<sfs2x.bat.
Now you will see a zone name echo with the trace of init() method in the console as
