Yes, you can have as many servers as you want. In fact, once connected, Cap'n Proto doesn't know the difference between a client and a server -- either side can send messages to the other equally. Cap'n Proto is designed as a peer-to-peer protocol; any notion of client or server happens at the application level.
The only catch here is that sometimes people write Cap'n Proto "client" code by calling promise.wait() to synchronously wait for promises to complete. When you have multiple calls happening concurrently (as you would when there are multiple servers), you can't do that -- you have to use .then() to register callbacks to call when the promise completes. (This applies to the C++ library -- the details may be a bit different in other languages.) -Kenton On Tue, Dec 25, 2018 at 8:32 PM Omega Ishendra <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry for the unclearness. > > In short what I want to know is, > > I know that we can have multiple clients. > Can we have two severs in capnp? > If it is yes, Is there any example code available which I can refer? > > > Thanks, > Omega > > On Tuesday, December 25, 2018 at 2:09:29 AM UTC+5:30, Kenton Varda wrote: >> >> Hi Omega, >> >> Sorry, I don't understand your question. >> >> Cap'n Proto RPC uses an event loop concurrency model.
