Experimental setup for shared data using websockets, node.js and redis
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WOOKIE-155
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-155
Project: Wookie
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Server
Reporter: Scott Wilson
Priority: Minor
This is an experimental setup that simulates replacing the DWR-based
functionality of Wookie's Wave API implementation with one using Node.js,
WebSockets, and Redis. The key motivation behind this experiment is to see how
much more responsive Wookie shared state widgets can be using a fast Websockets
implementation instead of Comet on a typical Java server stack.
To try it out, you need to install Node.js and the SocketIO websockets
implementation. You also need to run a Redis server. This file contains the
server-side logic.
To run the example:
1. Start your redis server on the default port using:
./redis-server
2. In the folder you unzipped the code into, type:
node server.js
3. In your browser (Safari and Chrome work well) open each of the testx.html
files. Test and Test2 share the same SharedDataKey whereas Test3.html does not.
Type in key:value pairs in the text boxes to send deltas to the wave state, and
see them updated in other "widget instances".
Note the example is incomplete as it only handles state, not viewer or
participants
