Hi,
I'm new to thrift, and I have a little trouble getting everything running.
At first the requirement: I want to get a c++-thrift-server running and
call it by a node.js client.
For that purpose I designed this "service":
## test.thrift ##
namespace cpp test
struct Message2Server {
1: string message
}
struct Message2Client {
1: string message
}
service test {
Message2Client ping( 1:Message2Server message )
}
##################
where I uses the two structs "Message2..." to simulate different more
complicated in- and outputs, but here it actually only swaps strings for
the purpose of testing.
The client.cpp, server.cpp, client.js and server.js are found here (with
the thrift file is included and where thrift is already run)
https://lserv.uni-jena.de/upload-data/5202322b44bd7/test.zip
I only swap a Message2Server and a Message2Client. With a "ping"-"pong"
When I run the cpp-server and call it by the cpp-client everything is
fine. I get my "ping"-"pong".
But: when I run the node-server and call it with the node-client I get
my "ping". However ... the "pong" won't arrive. I get a "ping failed:
unknown result". Obviously the object I send is wrong. But what do I wrong?
If I run the node-server and call it with the cpp-client I get an error
from the server,
"read(4) failed - not enough data"
and from the client
"ERROR: No more data to read."
If I run the cpp-server and call it with the node-client I get an error
from the server nothing happens. It seems that both sides wait for
input. And if I kill the client, I get the error from the server
"Thrift: Wed Aug 7 13:28:37 2013 TSimpleServer client died: No more
data to read." (of course)
Obviously I do something wrong. And I think it is on the "node"-side of
the code. Unfortunately the official documentation for "thrift-node" is
not too extensive and I didn't found any help, thus I wrote this message.
If my question is already answered, or if I should read some
documentation, I would be very happy for any hints.
Thanks for reading and best wishes
Wilm
