Thread: [Beepcore-java-users] Sending error messages

Hi,

So while messing around with profiles and such, and trying to follow the
TLS profile, I have noticed that the TLS profiles piggyback data with the
start message. If I want a profile that can support piggybacked data, how
would I reply to this piggybacked data in the start message with an
error? Or even, how would I send an error frame on the channel? From what
I can see, one can only send MSG frames unless one has a Message object
and one is not provided with a piggybacked message, only a string with
the data.

thanks for any insight that you can provide,

William Berriel

Unfortunately this is one of the ugly spots in the library. There is a
setStartData method on the channel that is used to send a piggyback'd reply.
I have another way I want to do this but there are other things in the queue
ahead of it.
