Atmosphere push question

[rabiter]

Hello friends,

I'm going to try out the Primefaces Push mechanism (that is in turn based on Atmosphere) and I have got a small question. I mentioned that the Primefaces Push works rather like a broadcaster that can work with several channels. All clients (browsers) subscribed to a certain channel will receive the message from the server broadcasted to an appropreate channel.

Set the connection and subscribe to a channel:

Code: Select all

<p:socket onMessage="doFancyWorkOnMessage" channel="/myChannel" />

Broadcast a message by Server:

Code: Select all

EventBusFactory.getDefault().eventBus().publish("/myChannel", "hi there");

Am I right that ALL clients who subscribed to the /myChannel will receive the "hi there" message?
What if I want to send a message from Server to a browser with a certain http session? Do I have use separate channel ("private" channel) for each session or is there another way to do it?

Kind regards ant thanks!
