Azure (Java, Post-shuffle)

https://forum.ragezone.com/cache.php...%2FYXpE58z.png
Azure Java by "Azure Group"

I'd like to welcome you all to our development thread. This has not been undergoing development for long, so bare with us!
We've done most networking and packet handling, so we're close to the fun part!

Libraries, dude?!
Netty - Networking
Gradle - Building
HikariCP - Connection Pooling
Guice - Dependency Injection
Hibernate - ORM / Database Management
log4j - Logging
Trove - Collections/Storage Handling

Which release, bro?!
We're currently using the same release as the 2.0.100 build, so it's PRODUCTION-201506161211-776084490.

What I want to know is, crypto?!?!
Of course are we going to implement Habbo's crypto and in a proper way, so that we won't receive complaints about it being anywhere near to 'slow'.

• @Dominicus
• @Caustik
• @Wotsuba
• @KyleeIsProzZ

Why the change?
The previous Azure base was destroyed on several factors, and missing a lot of core code and functionality so we thought it would just be easy to create a new project in Java.

Packet handling

Code:

---

public class MessageHandler {
    private static HashMap<Short, Method> messages = new HashMap<Short, Method>();
    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(MessageHandler.class);
    private static boolean initialized = false;

      @POSTConstruct
    synchronized void init() {
        if (initialized) {
            return;
        }

        initialized = true;
        logger.info("Scanning for MessageEvents");
        String pkg = "org.azure.communication.messages";

        Reflections reflections = new Reflections(new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .setUrls(ClasspathHelper.forPackage(pkg))
            .setScanners(new MethodAnnotationsScanner()));

        Set<Method> methods = reflections.getMethodsAnnotatedWith(MessageEvent.class);
        for (Method method : methods) {
            MessageEvent event = method.getAnnotation(MessageEvent.class);

            if (method.getReturnType().equals(Void.TYPE) && event != null && event.enabled()) {
                if (messages.containsKey(event.messageId())) {
                    logger.error("Message ID collision: {}::{} with {}::{}",
                            messages.get(event.messageId()).getDeclaringClass().getSimpleName(),
                            messages.get(event.messageId()).getName(),
                            method.getDeclaringClass().getSimpleName(),
                            method.getName()
                    );
                    System.exit(1); // Fatal error
                }

                Parameter[] params = method.getParameters();
                if (params.length == 2 && params[0].getType() == Session.class && params[1].getType() == ClientMessage.class) {
                    logger.info("Registered {}::{} to id {}",
                            method.getDeclaringClass().getSimpleName(),
                            method.getName(),
                            event.messageId()
                    );
                    messages.put(event.messageId(), method);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public static void invoke(Session session, ClientMessage message) {
        if (session == null || message == null) return;
        if (!messages.containsKey(message.opCode)) {
            logger.info("Unknown message (id: " + message.opCode + " session: " + session.getId() + ") " + message.toString());
            return;
        }

        logger.debug("Incoming message (id: " + message.opCode + " session: " + session.getId() + ") " + message.toString());
        try {
            messages.get(message.opCode).invoke(null, session, message);
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            logger.error("Error", e);
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
            logger.error("Error", e);
        }
    }
}

We're open to suggestion and feedback, to answer your question now, we're not 100% about whether the Azure Development in C# will continue or not, but for right now... this is our main focus.

We're using Netty 4.x and as of right now we've finished our server's Packet Handling so we'll have in-game snippets sooner than later.

Protocol Testing:

Finally, something good.

Reflection in Java is slow. I would only ever use reflection in Java when the server first boots up.

Which is also what it does. When the server is booting up, it'll run the MessageHandler's init void to load all packets within our header file :):

My mistake, I thought it was being called every time a packet was requested.

Carry on. :D:

I see you have taken a leap out of @The General's book.

Good luck with your dev.

A leap out of his book? Is he the only developer that is allowed the develop Java? :blink:
Thanks! :):

I did not say that did I? I was only stating a fact will be interesting to see how this one pans out. :junglejane:

So the old Azure project is dead?

Yep, but we're still supporting it :):
New features will NOT be added, though bug fixes and security patches will! :):

So why the sudden change from C# to Java? Why not consider more effective languages when you're going to write it from scratch anyway?

Because our team agreed upon this language as most of them are familiar and comfortable with it...

Although, now I'm curious as to what language you would recommend?

Please use this thread instead: https://forum.ragezone.com/f802/disc...pment-1083976/

Ontopic: Good luck with the project, Azure Team! I'm sure that you guys will do a great job.

Core in C++ and content/features in LUA. That way people could code their own commands, content, furnish and all the shit they want

But Java is cool as well.
