- (void)initUDP:(NSString *)udpHost :

Parameters

udpHost:

(NSString *) the host (IP) of the SFS Server

Discussion

Initialize the UDP Manager to create a UDP connection. If the host and port parameters are left nil and -1

loadConfig:connectOnSuccess:

Load a client configuration file.

- (void)loadConfig:(NSString *)filePath connectOnSuccess:(BOOL)connectOnSuccess

Parameters

filePath

(NSString *) external xml configuration file name (optional).

connectOnSuccess

(BOOL) a boolean flag indicating if the connection to SmartFoxServer must be attempted upon configuration loading completion.

Usage Note:
The external xml configuration file has the following structure; ip, port and zone parameters are mandatory, all other parameters are optional.

 <SmartFoxConfig>
     <ip>127.0.0.1</ip>
     <port>9933</port>
     <udpHost>127.0.0.1</udpHost>
     <udpPort>9934</udpPort>
     <zone>BasicExamples</zone>
     debugtrue</debug>
     useBlueBoxtrue</useBlueBox>
     <httpPort>8080</httpPort>
     <blueBoxPollingRate>750</blueBoxPollingRate>
 </SmartFoxConfig>

Example:
The following example shows how to load an external configuration file.

[smartfox loadConfig:@"sfs-config.xml" connectOnSuccess:NO];

-(void)onConfigLoadSuccess:(SFSEvent *)evt
{
    NSLog(@"Config file loaded, now connecting...");
    [smartFox connect:smartFox.ipAddress, smartFox.port];
}

 -(void)onConfigLoadFailure:(SFSEvent *)evt
{
    NSLog(@"Failed loading config file: %@", [evt.params objectForKey:@"message"]);
}

Discussion

Load a client configuration file.

The SmartFox2XClient instance can be configured through an external xml configuration file loaded at run-time. By default, the loadConfig method loads a file named sfs—config.xml, placed in the main bundle of the application. If the connectOnSuccess parameter is set to YES, on loading completion the connect:port: method is automatically called by the API, otherwise the onConfigLoadSuccess event is dispatched. In case of a loading error, the onConfigLoadFailure (SmartFoxISFSEvents) event is fired.

Warning: Important: The SmartFox2XClient configuration file (client-side) should not be confused with the SmartFoxServer configuration file (server-side).
