I'm coding something like REPL Server. Request from users evaluates in such function:
(defn execute [request]
(str (try
(eval (read-string request))
(catch Exception e (.getLocalizedMessage e)))))
Each client in separate thread. But they have the same namespace. How can I run code in dynamic created namespace ? So when new client connected, I want to create new namespace and to run client handling loop code there. Or maybe it's possible to run (eval ..)
in other namespace ?
Thanks.
upd.
Solved!
Execute function:
(defn execute
"evaluates s-forms"
([request] (execute request *ns*))
([request user-ns]
(str
(try
(binding [*ns* user-ns] (eval (read-string request)))
(catch Exception e (.getLocalizedMessage e))))))
Each client gets it's own namespace by:
(defn generate-ns
"generates ns for client connection"
[] (let [user-ns (create-ns (symbol (str "client-" (Math/abs (.nextInt random)))))]
(execute (str "(clojure.core/refer 'clojure.core)") user-ns)
user-ns))`
(defn delete-ns
"deletes ns after client disconnected"
[user-ns] (remove-ns (symbol (ns-name user-ns))))
offtop: How to make offsets in code snippets on begin of line ?
Solved:
(binding [*ns* user-ns] (eval (read-string request)))
(symbol (str "client-" (Math/abs (.nextInt random)))
I just wanted to add, that this could be achieved with
(gensym "client-")
(I wanted to comment, but it turns our that I can't :))
