Server to client PUSH support

[allforjava]

Hi,

Does Richfaces directly or indirectly supports server-side push to all its clients viewing specific view? Or any alternate to use with JSF & JbossAS 6?

Something like http://www.lightstreamer.com

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Check a4j:push component.

Hi Nick, thank you for quick reply!

What I understood, is PUSH is he way server broadcas the process state to all respective clients/browser. Any worng? correct me.

1. <a4j:push> provides the interval, just as for polling. Isnt it similar as <a4j:poll>?  client polling the server. Any list/chart of differences?

2. Another query, is <a4j: region> needed with <a4j:push> as it also polls the server with 'interval', through minimal, <a4j:poll>?

3. And finally, unable to find source for org.ajax4jsf.component.html.AjaxForm in jboss-richfaces-3.3.1.GA-src. Please guide.

2. User guide

It doesn't poll the view, so a4j:region is not required, but can be used to limit region decoded by a4j:push when there's a message.

3. And finally, unable to find source for org.ajax4jsf.component.html.AjaxForm in jboss-richfaces-3.3.1.GA-src. Please guide.

It's available in sources for richfaces-ui.jar.
