i know that you mentioned many times and advised to build a server based on jserver

The thing is right now i am trying to migrate a previous Socket server that i made with delphi

i had to use a socket server at this moment until i fully migrating my previous apps that built with other ide used a socket server

i see an outstanding performance with b4j for handling Large Clients using EOL Sockets Compared to my previous background

sense i will still use other ide to built a a socket client my server with b4j should be A socket server

Addition info

should i use CallSubDelayed if i am going to send multi able requests to a client ?


as example

B4X:
Public Sub NewData (data As String)
Dim paramset() As String
Dim paramcount As Int 
Dim Command As String

paramset = Regex.Split("\|", data)
paramcount = paramset.Length

If paramcount > 0 Then

Command = paramset(0)

End If

If Command = "isalive" Then
updatelivetime
End If

If Command = "close" Then
CallSub(Main, "CloseTheserver")
End If

If Command = "Login" Then

If paramcount = 2 Then
ConnectionTime = DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now)
Aserver.SendTome(Me, "logged")
End If

End If

If Command = "msg" Then
  
If paramcount = 2 Then
Aserver.SendCommandToAll("msg|") 
End If


End If

If Command = "PING" Then
  
If paramcount = 2 Then
Aserver.SendCommandToAll("PONG|")
End If


End If


If Command = "SET" Then
  
If paramcount = 2 Then
Aserver.SendCommandToAll("SETDATA|")
End If


End If

' if iam going to use SendCommandToAll  that way should i use CallSubDelayed ?


End Sub


if i am going receive and send multiable data that way should i use CallSubDelayed to Call SendCommandToall(data) ?

also i use two subs to send data Aserver.SendTome(Me, "Data") and Aserver.SendCommandToall(data) is it safe that way ?
