Re: Websockets on the IBMi

Not knowing all the details that scenario would make me question why don't
I have a real-time fat client app dong the work ?

Fat clients still have value.

It is diamonds after all :-)

<Real World Need Example>
We are just starting to look harder at this area we term server side
events so this is an interesting topic. We have a real life client doing
RFID based inventory checking application. The current need involves
taking inventory of thousands of high value diamonds. The process is as
follows:
On a web UI, the worker clicks on a button "Start Inventory Reading"
which results in activating a specific RFID reader. The RFID reader is
configured to call our Java based server when it reads any diamonds in it's
range. The inventory taker then goes off grabs a container of diamonds and
places them into RFID reader area. RFID reader reads all diamonds, calls
our server which writes them to a DB. Inventory removes diamonds and gets
next container of diamonds and repeats until finished. The challenge is
to update the inventory takers screen with diamonds counts and comparisons
to expected inventory levels in real time as inventory taking continues.
The RFID reader events are not associated with the inventory takers
request/response. I am looking at updating our framework to include the
generic ability to "register as a listener" for various server side events
and have those events trigger back to listening clients who then will
update their UIs as appropriate.
