In the past, I created a final AtomicReference and assigned the requestObserver to it and then called a get on the atomic reference in the onNext of the response onserver when I wanted to ping pong back and forth. It works, but also felt a bit off, so if anyone has better I’d love to hear it!

I need to register a response observer: // a response observer StreamObserver<HelloReply> responseObserver = new StreamObserver<HelloReply >() { ... }; StreamingGreeterGrpc.StreamingGreeterStub stub = StreamingGreeterGrpc. newStub(channel); // calling the streaming rpc returns the request observer StreamObserver<HelloRequest> requestObserver = stub.SayHelloStreaming( responseObserver); So, how do I safely use the request observer from within the response observer, given that the response observer has to be created before the rpc call and the request observer is only available after the rpc call? In my example, upon receiving HelloReply, I might want to, for example trigger sending another HelloRequest (for whatever reason). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups " grpc.io" group.
