It's easy to write your own getUserBySessid or getUserById by hooking into
the server side javascript framework, e.g. monitor when a user is added and
capture additional meta information in a hash, with a reference to either
the user object or the pubid. Then, you can easily create a server side RAW
to lookup this information and say, send a message to that user's pipe.
The challenge you will run into by bootstrapping the session management is
what to do with multiple clients from different locations, but the same
logical user (for example the same user logged in at home and at work). Do
you want both sessions (with different session ids) to receive the same
messages? Probably so. So you will need to force a session id. However, I
haven't found a way to do this with APE. You could join the user(s) to a
special channel (multiPipe) and send to this pipe, but that doesn't seem
very elegant. And I haven't found a way to force a user's pubid for their
uniPipe.
Currently I've come up with storing multiple user sessions in a hash on the
server, and when I want to message one (or multiple), I send a RAW to all
"users" on that pipe, by iterating over each one and getting the pubid, and
sending the RAW. You'll need to handle the case where the users timeout
("deluser") to prevent this structure from growing.
I have a feeling all of this could be done cleanly by giving the option to
attach additional subusers to a user, but I'm not sure if that API is
exposed or not, and I haven't had time to look at the code.
Anyone got any tips on this?
Thanks,
Johnathan
