If you are using any of the example applications found on our wiki (http://www.es-wiki.com/) or within the installation packages and are experiencing issues connection issues or "Requested string is longer than available data" errors, please read on.
The issue is caused by some minor changes and enhancements to the ElectroServer on both the client & server sides. These changes, while being transparent to the end user, have caused some issues with using clients built with older client APIs on newer versions of ElectroServer. The solution to this is to assure that all client applications & server extensions being developed for ElectroServer are using the APIs for the desired version of ElectroServer. In addition, it is suggested that you use the most recent version of the Java VM with ElectroServer unless otherwise noted.
While this isn't often an issue, it is usually good practice as it assures you have the most recent changes for that particular version. We do strive to bring you the best socket server solution for your needs and we appreciate it when these things are brought to our attention.
