Rails - Apr 2011 - Sinatra: can I return response AND post a callback?

Hi everyone,

Using the wonderful Sinatra to create a RESTful Web service. What I want
to do is:

1 receive a POST and return a JSON response.

2 after a short period send a  POST to a URL provided in a "callback"
param during 1 above

So far I can receive the client''s POST and eithr return a JSON
response,
or post to the callback URL. BUT, I can''t do both.

Have tried to use Threads but no luck.

Now trying event-machine-http but I''m sure I''m missing
something...here''s the code. ANy help much appreciated! Cheers.


# oneapi.rb

require ''sinatra''
require ''json''
require ''ruby-debug''
require ''singleton''
require ''em-http-request''

# callback test
post ''/callbacktest'' do
  "Callback was #{params[0]}"
end

# OneAPI payment operations
class Receipts
  include Singleton
  $receipts = Hash.new
  def addReceipt(transId,jsonTrans)
    $receipts["#{transId}"] = jsonTrans
  end
  def getReceipt(transId)
    return $receipts["#{transId}"]
  end
end

receipts = Receipts.instance

post ''/payment/transactions/amount'' do # => creates a new
charge
  content_type :json, :charset => ''utf-8''

  class Transaction
    def initialize(endUserId, code, referenceCode, callback=false)
      @endUserId = endUserId
      @code = code
      @referenceCode = referenceCode
      $callback = callback
      $transId = rand(1000)
    end

    def transId
      return $transId
    end

    def to_json(*a)
      {"amountTransaction" => {
        "endUserId" => @endUserId,
        "paymentAmount" =>{
          "chargingInformation" => {"code" => @code,
"description" =>
@description},
             "totalAmountCharged"=> "0" # the payment is
only
''processing'' at this point so nothing charged
         },
         "referenceCode" => @referenceCode,
         "serverReferenceCode"
=>"#{(0...6).map{65.+(rand(25)).chr}.join}", # just an example, can
be
any string
         "resourceURL" =>
"http://localhost:4567/payment/#{@endUserId}/transactions/amount/#{$transId}",
         "transactionOperationStatus" => "Processing"
     }}.to_json(*a)
    end

    def jsonResponse
      jsonTrans = self.to_json
      return jsonTrans
    end

  end

  def make_request(site=''http://localhost:4567/callbacktest'',
body={})
     http = EventMachine::HttpRequest.new(site).post :body => body
     http.errback { p ''request failed'' }
     http.callback {
       p http.response_header.status
       p http.response_header
       p http.response
     }
  end

  trans = Transaction.new(params[:endUserId],params[:code],
params[:referenceCode], params[:callback])

  # OK, send the JSON response...
  trans.to_json

  # ...and now send the callback. Just testing the mechanism for now
  # TODO this will be the transaction JSON but with amendments:
transactionOperationStatus changed
  # and currency/amount added.
  EM.run do
     # fire callback
     EM.add_timer(5) {make_request
"http://localhost:4567/callbacktest",
:param => ''hi there''}
  end
  # RESULT: callback is sent but the original response (trans.to_json)
is not sent!!
end

Not very familiar with sinatra, but I don''t think this sends anything
at all - sinatra uses the result of the last expression in the block
as its response
If you do something else after this, then that''s what sinatra will use
as its response

Also, beware global variables - if you ever got concurrent requests
your code would do horrible things
