Create simple Java application to post JSON message to CometD Bayeux Channel using Apache HttpClient and Maven style NetBeans project
0The objective discussed in this article is to post messages to a CometD Bayeux Channel with a standalone Java Class – without dependencies on CometD. For example to control from Java the Slideshow introduced in the synchronized Slideshow demo application created using CometD (see previous articles Push based synchronized Slideshow demo application implemented using CometD and jQuery running on Tomcat and Publishing to CometD Bayeux Channel from inside the Oracle Database – PL/SQL based push to CometD Web Client ).
This article describes the creation of a simple Java Class leveraging Apache HttpClient to post HTTP requests (JSON messages) to a CometD Bayeux Channel. The main point is to show working code with the lest dependencies, not an optimal program (it is far from optimal). The article demonstrates how NetBeans and Maven conspire here to make the task as simple as possible. The Maven support in NetBeans allows me to simply create a new Maven style project of (arche)type Java Application.
Publishing to CometD Bayeux Channel from inside the Oracle Database – PL/SQL based push to CometD Web Client
1In recent articles, I have introduced CometD as framework for Server to Client and Client to Client Push: Running CometD 2 examples – locally on Tomcat using Maven and NetBeans http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14709/running-cometd-2-examples-locally-on-tomcat-using-maven-and-netbeans, CometD 2 Java Client Sample – open project in NetBeans based on Maven pom file, modify sources and run Java Based Comet Client (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14720/cometd-2-java-client-sample-open-project-in-netbeans-based-on-maven-pom-file-modify-sources-and-run-java-based-comet-client) and Push based synchronized Slideshow demo application implemented using CometD and jQuery running on Tomcat (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14870/push-based-synchronized-slideshow-demo-application-implemented-using-cometd-and-jquery-running-on-tomcat).
CometD allows web clients (or stand alone Java clients) to subscribe to Bayeux channels maintained by the CometD Server (Servlet). These clients can publish messages to the channels and CometD will deliver the messages to all or to selected clients – in a push-fashion. This makes it possible to push messages from the Java server side of a web application to web More >
Push based synchronized Slideshow demo application implemented using CometD and jQuery running on Tomcat
2In a string of recent articles, I have discussed downloading, installing and running demos for a number of different tools, frameworks and libraries that support push-style (web) applications in one way or another. I have looked into ‘classic’ comet with Grizzly, Atmosphere and CometD as well as ADF Active Data Service and WebLogic Pub/Sub (Bayeux) Channels. I have also looked to WebSockets with jWebSocket, again Atmosphere and CometD and also with Kaazing. I am now working on a series of articles in which I use each of these frameworks and push infrastructures to implement the same simple push-style application – to see how that goes and to compare the various implementations. The functionality I will be implementing is simple:
- through the web client (HTML 5/javaScript), a user can select an image from a list of ’slides’
- the selection of the image is communicated to the server (background WebSocket based or alternatively regular AJAX)Comet (Bayeux)/Long Poll style)
- the server informs all connected clients about the selected image through a pushed message (background WebSocket based or alternatively Comet (Bayeux)/Long Poll style); these clients all synchronize that slide More >
