Dears,

RF team has added a new hot feature which is push with CDI, but I tried to use it and i faced a troublesome message (Topic 'my topic name' is not configured), my enviroment :

-JBoss AS 6.0 final

-JDK 1.6.0-24

-RichFaces 4.1 Final

Refer to these sources for more information:

RichFaces Component Guide: a4j:push component

Starting with RichFaces Push on Various Servlet Containers

RichFaces Developer Guide

so i asked for TopicContext help to complete my task, here what you need to do to make a4j:push work using CDI :

1-add context parameters to your web.xml :

<context-param>
    <param-name>org.richfaces.push.jms.disable</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
 </context-param>
 <context-param>
    <param-name>org.atmosphere.useBlocking</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
 </context-param>

2-find the attached file (atmosphere dependencies.rar), it contains 5 jars for atmosphere push framework, copy them into your WEB-INF/lib directory.

3-PushBean.java code:

@Named
@SessionScoped
public class PushBean implements Serializable {
          private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; 
          private static final String CDI_PUSH_TOPIC = "pushCdi";
          private String userIdentifier;
          private String message; 

          @Inject
          @Push(topic=CDI_PUSH_TOPIC, subtopic="#{pushBean.userIdentifier}")//i thought that the topic is initialized with this ?!
          private Event<String> pushEvent;

          @Inject
          public void init() {

                         if(userIdentifier == null) {
                                        userIdentifier = UUID.randomUUID().toString().replace("-", ""); 
                         } 

          TopicsContext topicsContext = TopicsContext.lookup();
          topicsContext.getOrCreateTopic(new TopicKey(CDI_PUSH_TOPIC, userIdentifier));//initialize the topic and make the troublesome message disappears
          }

          public void sendMessage() throws MessageException {

                    pushEvent.fire(message);
          }


          public String getUserIdentifier() {
                    return userIdentifier;
          } 


          public String getMessage() {
                    return message;
          }


          public void setMessage(String message) {
                    this.message = message;
          } 
}

4-producer.xhtml source code:

<h:form id="prodForm">
                              <h:panelGrid>
                                        <h:outputText id="uid" value="uid: #{pushBean.userIdentifier}" />
                                        <h:inputText id="msg" value="#{pushBean.message}" />
                                        <a4j:commandButton id="sendMsg" 
                                                                                   execute="@form"
                                                                                   value="send"
                                                                                   action="#{pushBean.sendMessage}"
                                                                                   oncomplete="#{rich:element('msg')}.value=''"/>
                              </h:panelGrid> 
                    </h:form>

important:use uid as a parameter to invoke consumer.xhtml page, ex :http://localhost:8080/rf4/faces/consumer.xhtml?uid=c59d249427544df286782765379c4647

this will ensure that each user has his own topic.

5-consumer.xhtml code:

<h:form id="conForm">
                    <rich:panel style="width:150px" header="messages">

                              <a4j:push id="consumer" 
                                                    address="#{param['uid']}@pushCdi" 
                                                    onerror="alert(event.rf.data)"
                                                    ondataavailable="jQuery('&lt;li /&gt;').prependTo('#messages').text(event.rf.data)"/>
                              <ul id="messages"/>
                    </rich:panel>
          </h:form>

try it out .
