[SOLVED] Push between multiple webapps?

[FkJ]

I have a chat application that is based on the p:poll component. I think it would be major improvement to refactor it to use p:push.

But the main issue is that this chat is made between two different webapps. webapp1 is used by the company clients and webapp2 is used by the company attendants. Each webapp has its own theme and authentication rules, so I don't pretend merging them in a single webapp.

Since the p:socket automatically appends the current context, is there a way to pass the full URL? The idea is to have the same channel in both webapps, but webapp1 would broadcast to webapp2 and vice versa.

Thanks in advance,
Phillip

Start by reading all of the following:

primefaces.PUSH_SERVER_URL with different urls

[solved] Problem with Apache 2 proxy

Push not working inside GF Virtual Server web app

Multiple push applications on one web server instance

also, Andy recommended some time ago that you may want to use a JMS server in a 'middle tier' that will accept requests from multiple webapps, and push to appropriate/connected clients.

after you implement this and meet your requirement, please share your implementation here. thanks.

Thanks for the links, but from what I understood they refer to different issues.

JMS would be an option, but I never worked with it before, so I'd like to try something simpler before.

Since both webapps are on the same server, I think that if I could pass the context name to the push method it would work:

Code: Select all

	public void sendMessage()
	{
		// ...
		// persist message on database
		// ...
		
		PushContext pushContext = PushContextFactory.getDefault().getPushContext();
		pushContext.push("/webapp1/<<common channel id>>", "<<some notification>>");
		pushContext.push("/webapp2/<<common channel id>>", "<<some notification>>");
	}

Is there a parameter to allow me to do this?

Thanks

JMS, and I recommend tomee, since you're using tomcat. I started using JMS via ActiveMQ (bundled with tomee+).

Do the 2 web apps communicate or share same database?

Search Google for atmosphere wiki broadcaster, because your code and understanding is not correct.

They use the same database.

Search Google for atmosphere wiki broadcaster, because your code and understanding is not correct.

I was actually reading it when I received the notification of new post here .

I'm taking a look at the PushServlet code to see if I figure out something.

I'll post this question in the Atmosphere group too.

[smithh032772]

Good. You may want to allow both apps to receive REST requests, and then use PrimeFaces Push on each app to push messages.

Please share your code/implementation here, afterwards.

Yeah.

I'm trying to figure out how push rules work before replying there.

click this, and read that, entirely, especially the code/email that I embedded in the 'code' tags. There, you will see how someone else use 'push rule'.

Got it working with JMS: ActiveMQ + a simple web listener to read messages from the topic.
