Publishing to CometD Bayeux Channel from inside the Oracle Database – PL/SQL based push to CometD Web Client

In 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 >

Retrieve song lyrics in Java using Screenscraping with JSoup

Last year I wrote about JSoup, a Java library that helps with screenscraping: Screenscraping from Java using jsoup – effective data gathering from websites (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/13121/screenscraping-from-java-using-jsoup-effective-data-gathering-from-websites). Last month I had another opportunity for using JSoup, this time to gather song lyrics for the songs on a CD. The context in this case was the internal SOA for Java Professionals training program at AMIS. The students did an assignment to complete the second block in this three-piece program. Their assignment required them to implement a Web Service that produced the CD Booklet for a certain CD – returned as PDF document with illustration, song titles and song lyrics. One of the resources we made available to the students was a Java Class that returned song lyrics. It was their challenge to integrate this class in a proper way in their application (be it PL/SQL, SOA Suite 11g or OSB based).

The LyricsGatherer is easily constructed using JSoup and the website http://www.songlyrics.com/ (that suffers from periodic and unfortunate loss of service) :

Implementing a Java Server Side component for jWebSocket Server for WebSocket interaction with Web Clients

In a previous post – http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14949/push-based-synchronized-slideshow-web-application-implemented-using-websockets-and-jwebsocket-server-the-open-source-java-websocket-server – I discussed the implementation of the synchronized slideshow application using Web (HTML/JavaScript) clients and jWebSocket as websocket server. In an earlier article, I described the same for the Kaazing WebSocket server – http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14777/push-based-synchronized-slideshow-web-application-implemented-using-websockets-and-kaazing-websocket-gateway – and both stories are (fortunately) fairly similar. In the Kaazing article I also described a Java based Server Side ‘client’ or ‘WebSocket interaction partner’. In the jWebSocket article, that part was missing and in this article I will rectify that.

This article will describe how a Java application can integrate with jWebSocket server – in fact: start the server from within the Java code -and subsequently register listeners that intercept WebSocket communication from other interaction partners such as Web clients. The Java application can also send messages to specific clients or broadcast to all clients. This article More >

Push-based synchronized slideshow web application – implemented using WebSockets and jWebSocket server – the open source Java WebSocket server

In a recent article, I have introduced jWebSocket – an open source Java based server for WebSocket communication: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14940/first-steps-with-jwebsocket-open-source-java-framework-for-websockets-installation-and-running-samples. In this article, I have described how to download and install the jWebSocket server and how to get going with running some of the distributed samples.

In another recent article, I looked at the implementation of a slideshow application where multiple web clients are mutually synchronized using WebSocket based communication using the Kaazing commercial Web Socket Gateway: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14777/push-based-synchronized-slideshow-web-application-implemented-using-websockets-and-kaazing-websocket-gateway.

In this article, I will implement that same Slideshow application as with Kaazing, this time using the jWebSocket server as my underlying WebSocket infrastructure. It turns out that no server side configuration is required for this initial, somewhat naive implementation that does not use a specific channel but simply has all clients of the jWebSocket server participate in the communication. A more advanced set up would More >

Push based synchronized Slideshow demo application implemented using CometD and jQuery running on Tomcat

by Lucas Jellema in , , ,

In 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 >
