Newbie Q .. what is the correct approach to the following application: - multiple client applications show an icon representing the state (good or bad) of 1 or more resources (lets say client 1 shows resource A, client 2 shows resources A and B, client 3 shows resources B and C) - the state of those resources is determined on the server side through some independent thread (not related to any client request) - when the status of the resource changes, I want to push that change to the clients showing that resource
At first glance, I thought Atmosphere should provide mechanisms to do what I want .. but all the examples seem to have everything triggered from the client (browser) side. In my case other than the client registering interest in particular resources (A and/or B and/or C), the client does not initiate anything. Am I forced to make the client (long) poll? I was rather hoping for some level of abstraction where I can set initial interest by registering some listener against some subject and after that just publish updates from the server without my server code having to have an explicit handle to a client (I was assuming some toolkit would handle that). If appropriate, pointers to any examples would be great. All the chat examples I can find seem to initiate stuff from the client. Not much help from the Atmosphere code which lacks javadoc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
