How does one utilise the onConnect(Accept|Reject)? methods properly?

[cam124]

I would like to add the user's Id say to a HashMap filled with those users that are connected.

So in flex I'd like to call:

conn.connect("rtmp://" + SERVER + "/app_1/" + instanceName, userId);

I'm not sure what to do next. I assume the userId should not be added in onConnect(), in case the connection fails. If so, how would I add it in onConnectAccept(), which only takes the IClient as a parameter?

Take a look at this example:

You can add user to a hashmap. You can also add info the IClient Properties container.

public void onConnect(IClient client, RequestFunction function,
			AMFDataList params) {
		getLogger().info("onConnect: " + client.getClientId());
		String userName = getParamString(params, PARAM1);
		client.getProperties().setProperty("userName", userName);
	}

Then you can retrieve in any function with IClient argument:

public void onConnectAccept(IClient client) {
		getLogger().info("onConnectAccept: " + client.getClientId());
		String userName = client.getProperties().getPropertyStr("userName");
	}
