Do you have any example for reference? Thanks.

Google ‘eventmachine chat server’ then look at the first link.

It would have taken less typing than posting your question and given
you the answer there and then.

Here’s an example of a chat server written using my Revactor library for
Ruby 1.9:

github.com

tarcieri/revactor/blob/master/examples/chat_server.rb

#
# A simple chat server implemented using 1 <-> N actors 
# 1 server, N client managers, plus a listener
#
# The server handles all message formatting, traffic routing, and connection tracking
# Client managers handle connection handshaking as well as low-level network interaction
# The listener spawns new client managers for each incoming connection
#

$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.expand_path('../../lib', __FILE__)
require 'revactor'

HOST = '0.0.0.0'
PORT = 4321

# Open a listen socket.  All traffic on new connections will be run through
# the "line" filter, so incoming messages are delimited by newlines.
listener = Actor::TCP.listen(HOST, PORT, :filter => :line)
puts "Listening on #{HOST}:#{PORT}"
