We are using Azure Service Bus Topics as a backplane for signalR and we have at least 2 web instances. We want to send a notification to a specific user with SignalR. We are using "context.Clients.User" method on a web instance.
If the user is connected to this web instance and authenticated, he/she gets notification.
The problem is that: if the user is authenticated on other web instance, this does not work.
How can we send notification to user on another web instance ?
We are using Autofac.SignalR and SignalR.ServiceBus
IOC Configuration:
var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
.
.
.
.
.
Container = builder.Build();
RegisterGlobalCommonServiceLocator();
var resolver = new AutofacWebApiDependencyResolver(Container);
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = resolver;
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new AutofacDependencyResolver(Container));
var connectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SignalRBrokerServiceBus"];
var appName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SignalRApplicationName"];
GlobalHost.DependencyResolver = new Autofac.Integration.SignalR.AutofacDependencyResolver(Container);
var scaleOutConfig = new ServiceBusScaleoutConfiguration(connectionString, appName);
GlobalHost.DependencyResolver.UseServiceBus(scaleOutConfig);
Usage of contex ExchangeRate is derived class from Hub:
var user = _userService.FindById(orderBook.UserId);
var context =GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext<ExchangeRate>();
context.Clients.User(user.Email).deleteMyOrder(myOrder);
It's related with topic configuration on azure. We crated a topics with "enable partitioning". We were missing many messages.Now, Topics are created by IOC. It's work fine. I have tested on both instances. context.Clients.User works fine.
