DeepaMehta 4 WebSockets Demo

A simple DeepaMehta 4 plugin that demonstrates the usage of WebSockets.

• Provides a minimal HTML page that acts as a WebSocket client.
• Provides a server-side part that listens to topic update events and pushes them to all connected WebSocket clients.

DeepaMehta 4 is a platform for collaboration and knowledge management.

Install

1. Install the DeepaMehta 4 WebSockets plugin:
   https://github.com/jri/dm4-websockets

2. Install this demo plugin.

3. Start DeepaMehta.

Run

1. Open the WebSocket client:
   http://localhost:8080/de.deepamehta.websockets-example/

   A simple HTML page appears.
   It opens a WebSocket connection to ws://localhost:8081/ and sends a greeting message.

   In the server log you'll see:

    Apr 18, 2016 5:13:07 PM de.deepamehta.websockets.WebSocketConnection onOpen
    INFO: ### Opening a WebSocket connection for plugin "de.deepamehta.websockets-example"

    INFO: ### Receiving message from WebSocket client: "Hello WebSockets server!"
   

2. In the WebSocket client: open the browser's web console. You'll see:

    Opening WebSocket connection to ws://localhost:8081/
   

   Further messages will appear here soon.

3. In another browser window (or in another browser): open the DeepaMehta Webclient and log in.
   http://localhost:8080/de.deepamehta.webclient/

4. In the DeepaMehta Webclient: create or edit any topics.
   All topic update events are broadcasted to all connected WebSocket clients. The events appear in their web consoles.
