BlazeDS AJAX Demo

This demo shows how you can use the BlazeDS AJAX library to keep two lists in sync.

Requirements

• ColdFusion with BlazeDS
  • ColdFusion 9 ships with BlazeDS
  • ColdFusion 8 requires that you manually install BlazeDS
• FW/1 Framework
  • This demo assumes that FW/1 is available at org.corfield.framework

Setup

• Install the contents of this repo into a folder in your webroot (i.e. {webroot}/blazeds-ajax-demo)
• Create a new event gateway to handle messaging
  • In the ColdFusion administrator navigate to "Event Gateways" -> "Gateway Instances"
  • Under "Add / Edit ColdFusion Event Gateway Instances" enter the following
    • Gateway ID: sortDemoGateway
    • Gateway Type: DataServicesMessaging
    • CFC Path: {path to this demo}/model/sortDemoGateway.cfc
    • Configuration File: {leave blank}
    • Startup Mode: Automatic
    • Click "Add Gateway Instance"
  • Once the gateway is created be sure to start it under "Configured ColdFusion Event Gateway Instances"

Running

• Open the application and log in with any username (i.e. "Tester1")
• Open the application in another browser and log in with a different username (i.e. "Tester2")
• Drag the list items to re-order.
• Observe that when the list is re-ordered in one browser, the list in the other browser is updated within a few seconds.
