SignalR Server
Server-side SignalR hub infrastructure: method dispatch, session management, broadcast, and diagnostics. Source: SignalRs/ in this project.
For client-side transport (tags, wire protocol, client base) see
AyCode.Services/docs/SIGNALR/README.md. For the DataSource collection seeSIGNALR_DATASOURCE.md.
Server Processing
6. OnReceiveMessage(tag, requestId, signalParams, object data)
7. Extract parameterBytes from signalParams.Parameters
8. DynamicMethodRegistry.GetMethodByMessageTag(tag) <- ConcurrentDictionary lookup
9. signalParams.GetParameterValues(paramInfos):
|- byte[] -> BinaryTo<byte[][]>() (cached)
|- Per-element: byte[][i].BinaryTo(paramInfos[i].ParameterType)
|- Trailing defaults auto-filled
|- Hub validates: missing required params throw ArgumentException
'- NOTE: BinaryTo only -- JSON param deserialization not supported (needs JsonTo + project ref)
10. MethodInfo.InvokeMethod(instance, params) <- unwraps Task/ValueTask
11. ResponseToCaller(tag, Success, responseData, requestId, signalParams):
12. SendMessageToClient(caller, tag, status, responseData, requestId, clientSignalParams):
|- Build response SignalParams { Status, DataSerializerType, SignalDataType, IsRawBytesData }
|- SignalDataType = responseData?.GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName (null if IsRawBytesData)
|- IsRawBytesData forwarded from client's SignalParams
'- caller.OnReceiveMessage(tag, requestId, signalParams, responseData)
Protocol zero-copy serializes responseData directly to pipe (no intermediate byte[])
13. If SendToOtherClientType != None:
'- SendMessageToOthers(sendToOtherClientTag, result) <- uses sendToOtherClientTag, not messageTag
Dynamic Method Dispatch
See also: AyCode.Models.Server/DynamicMethods/README.md
Server-Side Lookup
1. OnReceiveMessage(tag=100, requestId, signalParams, object data)
2. DynamicMethodRegistry.GetMethodByMessageTag(100)
|- Check static ConcurrentDictionary<int, (Type, AcMethodInfoModel)?> cache
|- Hit? -> find instance of cached Type from registered instances
|- Miss? -> scan all registered instances' methods for [SignalR(100)]
| cache the result (including negative = null)
'- Return (instance, methodInfoModel) or null
3. AcMethodInfoModel contains:
|- MethodInfo (the method to invoke)
|- SignalRAttribute (tag, sendToOtherClientTag, sendToOtherClientType)
'- ParamInfos[] (ParameterInfo for deserialization)
The DynamicMethodRegistry uses a static ConcurrentDictionary for the global tag->method cache.
Registration
The hub registers service instances during initialization:
DynamicMethodRegistry.Register(myService); // scans [SignalR(tag)] methods lazily
DynamicMethodRegistry.Register(anotherService);
Reflection runs lazily per tag on first request, then results are cached statically.
Session Management
AcSessionService<TSessionItem, TSessionItemId> tracks connected clients:
ConcurrentDictionary<TSessionItemId, TSessionItem> Sessions
IAcSessionItem<TSessionItemId> requires SessionId property. Used for targeting messages to specific users/connections.
Broadcast Service
AcSignalRSendToClientService<THub, TTags, TLogger> provides server-push methods:
| Method | Target |
|---|---|
SendMessageToAllClients |
All connected |
SendMessageToConnection(connectionId) |
Single connection |
SendMessageToUser(userId) |
User (all connections) |
SendMessageToUsers(userIds) |
Multiple users |
All messages use the same SendMessageToClient path: build SignalParams (Status, DataSerializerType, SignalDataType) + pass object responseData as separate hub argument. Protocol zero-copy serializes responseData directly to the pipe.
Hub Events
OnConnectedAsync()-- log connectionOnDisconnectedAsync(exception)-- log disconnection, cleanup session
Diagnostics
Enable with AcWebSignalRHubBase.EnableBinaryDiagnostics = true.
Logs: hex dump (500 byte sample), header parsing (version, marker), property count + names via VarUInt reading.
