I encountered a problem in S4 just now: if you send a message to an
object for which there is no handler registered, it basically ignores
it. If the sender happens to be waiting for a reply,
then it has to wait for the full timeout.
However, we have a fairly well defined way of replying to messages in
VOS, so it could reply with an "unhandled message" error.
E.g. the receiving Vobject can do this, I think? --
if(...Message msg not handled...) {
Message err;
err.setNonce(msg->getNonce());
err.setMethod(msg->getMethod() + "-reply"); // Or maybe "core:error"
instead?
err.insertField("error", "Unrecognized message method: " +
msg->getMethod());
err.setType("reply"); // ?? or "update"?
from->sendMessage(err);
}
Does this make sense? Can I add it? (It would be in
VobjectBase::msgSendImpl() I think)
