B4J Question [BANanoServer] [SOLVED] Future on SERVER and BANanoPromise on BROWSER?

Q1.
In your example, BrowserAbout, you have called?

B4X: 
Dim prom As BANanoPromise = ws.RunFunctionWithResult("AddOnTheServer", Array(3 , 6))
	prom.Then(value)
		Log("SERVER says sum of 3+6=" & value)
	prom.end

and in ServerAbout, we have


B4X: 
	Dim fut As Future = ws.RunFunctionWithResult("AddInTheBrowser", Array(20, 30))
	ws.Flush

Just to be clear. To send stuff from the server to the browser, one always have to use a Future. To process that Future one has to use a BANanoPromise?

Q2. So If I want to get stuff from the server I always have to pull them and JSON and push up JSON?

There is a pull of data from the server, this is called with

B4X: 
Dim humanJson As String
    Dim promHuman As BANanoPromise = ws.RunFunctionWithResult("GetHuman", Null)
    promHuman.Then(humanJson)
        Human.FromJson(humanJson)
        ' making a change
        Human.Name = "Alain Bailleul"
        ' and sending it back to the server
        ws.RunFunction("SetHuman", Array(Human.ToJSON))
        Log("Hello Human " & Human.Name & " (" & Human.Gender & ")")
    promHuman.end

The server pull code is

B4X: 
' called from the BROWSER
public Sub GetHuman() As String
    ' make a human that the browser can retrieve
    Human.Name = "Alain"
    Human.Gender = "Male"
    Return Human.ToJSON
End Sub

Also on the server code, for the push

B4X: 
' called from the BROWSER
public Sub SetHuman(HumanStr As String)
    Human.FromJson(HumanStr)
    Log("Human.Name (changed in the browser) is " & Human.Name)
End Sub

In both cases, we have .TOJSON and .FromJSON. I see now, I remembered something, the database records (via CallInlinePHP) I was getting were an array of objects, then these were converted into a list.

Thanks, I now understanding, this is not any different from what I have been doing before with inline php, but I dont have to think and use inline php but pure coding to speak to the DB. The beauty of Change Managment.

On the issue of Flushing, just to be clear, its not necessary on the browser.

On the server, we are flushing..

B4X: 
Dim fut As Future = ws.RunFunctionWithResult("AddInTheBrowser", Array(20, 30))
    ws.Flush
    Log("BROWSER says sum of 20+30=" & fut.Value)
   
    ' or if no result is expected back
    ws.RunFunction("BROWSERTest", Array("Hello from the SERVER!"))
    ws.Flush

On the browser, we are not flushing..

B4X: 
Dim value As Int = 0
    Dim prom As BANanoPromise = ws.RunFunctionWithResult("AddOnTheServer", Array(3 , 6))
    prom.Then(value)
        Log("SERVER says sum of 3+6=" & value)
    prom.end

Thanks
