B4J Question Websocket & custom types

[LucaMs]

How to send/receive custom types?

Certainly there is a better method... also because... this does not work

I'm trying:

' SERVER - WEBSOCKET CLASS
Sub Class_Globals
    Type tProva(ID As Int, Name As String)
    Private mB4XSerializator As B4XSerializator
    Private mStringUtils As StringUtils
'...


Private Sub Test
   Dim Prova As tProva
   Prova.Initialize
   Prova.ID = 123
   Prova.Name = "Me stesso"
 
   Dim Data() As Byte = mB4XSerializator.ConvertObjectToBytes(Prova)
   Dim Base64 As String = mStringUtils.EncodeBase64(Data)

   Dim lstData As List
   lstData.Initialize
   lstData.Add(Base64)
 
   ws.RunFunction("TestRoutine", lstData)
   ws.Flush
End Sub

' CLIENT
' [mStringUtils, mB4XSerializator and tProva are declared, of course]

' Called by Private Sub ws_TextMessage(msg As String)
Public Sub TestRoutine(Params As List)
   Dim Base64 As String = Params.Get(0)
   Dim Data() As Byte = mStringUtils.DecodeBase64(Base64)
   Dim Prova As tProva
   Prova = mB4XSerializator.ConvertBytesToObject(Data)
   LogColor("Ricevuti: " & Prova.ID & TAB & Prova.Name, Colors.Blue)

Error occurred on line: 181 (srvComm)
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: .......$_tprova

Works for me. Both for a B4J client and B4A client. On the client, I use the WebSocketHandler class (part of the client example here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/websocket-client-library.40221/#content )

I use the WebSocketHandler class

Me too

Here's the code. Please note they are just quick adaptations of what you posted/was already posted on these forums (no original code). The B4J app is just a shell to log the result of the transfer.
Note: Change the IP addresses!

Thanks, I'll try VERY immediately soon.

Note: Change the IP addresses!

In your client app, is the TProva Type declared in the Main module?

I have already deleted all; anyway, probably I declared it in the service I use for "communications" between the websocket handler "class" and the rest of the app (mainly activities).

Also, I don't think it should change something, @Roycefer, thank you.

From this thread (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4xobject-b4a-b4j-b4i-objects-serialization.48272/#content): "Note that if you plan to share types between different platforms then the types should be declared in the main module."

Yes, now I remember! Types can be declared anywhere, but is B4XObject that requires...!

Many thanks, @OliverA (your project works... of course ) and @Roycefer
