Hi,
I have a Java Swing
applet in my site. It talks to server via Applet to Servlet Communication. There
is one application running at the server side, which processes some order.
Now the
functionality which I have to build is that the application should be able to
push orders to the applets, so that the users who are currently watching the
applet should be able to see the latest data automatically without sendinga
request.
I searched on web
but couldn't find anything as to how can I push data to all the connected
applets of the site.
The solution which I
thought is the applet will poll the server after every say 1 minute to check if
there is any new to show. But suppose the number of user is more and there is
nothing new to show, the applets will unnecessary making the request to the
server.
I can't use Socket
connection or RMI as the site will browsed outside the firewall. Is there any
way by which I can push data from server to applets, so that when ever new thing
will come server will make connection with applets and push data thereby using
network only when needed. Unlike in polling the network is used
unnecessarily.
