Twisted multiple ports


I am working with a multiple port application, my issue is the about the decoder that I use, let me explain with the code

This is my tac file, where I read which port I will use from a config file, this config file have section for the port which one will listen the clients, also a decoder for the data received, for exmaple

[protocols]
keys: vt310,gt06,al900c

[al900c]
name:AL900C
port: 5010

[vt310]
name:VT310
port: 5020

[other]
name:OTHER
port: 5030

as you could see, I start telling with decoder will be searched on the config file

import os, sys
import ConfigParser
from twisted.application import internet, service
from twisted.internet import protocol
from listener.TrackerServer import TrackerServer

PROJECT_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
sys.path.append(PROJECT_DIR)

path = None
config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
config.read('protocols.cfg')

application = service.Application("tracker")
for device in config.get('protocols', 'keys').split(','):
    factory = protocol.ServerFactory()
    factory.clients = []
    factory.decoder = None
    factory.protocol = TrackerServer
    factory.devicer = config.get(device, 'name')
    internet.TCPServer(int(config.get(device, 'port')), factory).setServiceParent(application)

My Server, each time start a connection, the server must use the decoder assigned at the factory creation,

from twisted.internet import threads
from twisted.internet.protocol import Factory, Protocol

class TrackerServer(Protocol):
    """Tracker Twisted Protocol Class."""

    def connectionMade(self):
        """ConnectionMade Twisted event."""
        try:
            decoderModule = __import__('listener.protocols.%sDecoder' % (self.factory.devicer, ), fromlist=['%sDecoder' % (self.factory.devicer, )])
            decoderClass = getattr(decoderModule, '%sDecoder' % (self.factory.devicer, ))

            self.factory.decoder = decoderClass()
            print 'Connection made to', self.transport.getHost(), 'from', self.transport.getPeer()
            self.factory.clients.append(self)
        except ValueError:
            print "Oops!  Connection was not started"

    def connectionLost(self, reason):
        """ConnectionLost Twisted event."""
        self.factory.clients.remove(self)
        print "Connection lost ", reason

    def dataReceived(self, data):
        """DataReceived Twisted event."""
        #try:
        """ how to precess here a line for a specific client"""
        self.sendResponse(self.factory.decoder.processDatagram(data))
            #d = threads.deferToThread(self.factory.decoder.processDatagram(data ))
            #d.addCallback(self.sendResponse)
        #except ValueError:
        #    print "Oops!  That was no valid data.  Try again..."

    def sendResponse (self, response):
        self.transport.write(response)

the problem is, at least I have noticed, always, each time one is started, the last one decoder is started, as you could see, on this case, always gt06 will be used, and I need to user the decoder according the port, this is my log, and you could notice that at 2013-05-04 11:29:56-0500, the class used for decoding change

Solution

  • You're using a global variable to specify which decoder a server on one of the ports uses:

    factory = protocol.ServerFactory()
    factory.protocol = TrackerServer
    factory.protocol.decoder = deco
    

    Since the global can only have one value, there can only be one decoder defined.

    After this line:

    factory.protocol = TrackerServer
    

    factory.protocol refers to the same object TrackerServer refers to. So the program effectively does:

    TrackerServer.decoder = deco
    

    inside the loop. Pretty clear that that won't do what you want, right?

    As an alternative, try factory.decoder = deco in the loop and self.factory.decoder in the protocol implementation (to replace self.decoder).
