Handling reconnection #162
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are two scenarios of connection loss:
- Server was restarted, client session was lost
- Network connection was lost, but server session retained
Describe the solution you'd like
Let's talks about the first issue: server was restarted.
Not sure if it's easier to fix, but I believe it's easier to reproduce.
I'd like all clients to be able to silently reconnect and recover their sessions.
This includes session state, authenticated client identity, event handlers, etc.
The framework should be able to notify the clients about the disconnection and reconnection events.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Closing and restarting clients. Actually, not a plausible alternative to reconnection.
Additional context
Zyan.Communication framework supports this for .NET Remoting.
It's able to reconnect, re-login and re-subscribe remote events as if nothing happened.
So I believe it should be possible to implement in CoreRemoting.
