Low-latency data transfer from servers to clients. dojox.cometd implements a Bayeux protocol client for use with most Bayeux servers. See cometd.com for details on Cometd or on the Bayeux protocol.
Basic Example¶
Using dojox.cometd to connect to a Bayeux-compliant server is very straightforward:
As a simple example, we’ll setup a chat room; we will subscribe to a channel and log any messages received. When you send a message it is published on this channel. You can open a couple browsers to and send messages back and forth to see this in action. Just enter your name and type a message and click send.
<script type="text/javascript">
dojo.require("dijit.form.TextBox"); // Those widgets are only included to make the example look nice
dojo.require("dijit.form.Button"); // Those widgets are only included to make the example look nice
dojo.require("dojo.io.script");
dojo.require("dojox.cometd");
dojo.require("dojox.cometd.callbackPollTransport");
dojo.addOnLoad(function(){
dojox.cometd.init("http://cometd.dojocampus.org:9000/cometd");
dojox.cometd.subscribe("/demo",function(message){
console.log("received",message);
dojo.byId("messageLog").
appendChild(document.createElement("div")).
appendChild(document.createTextNode(message.data.from + ": " + message.data.text));
});
dojo.connect(dojo.byId("send"),"onclick",function(){
if (!dojo.byId("sendName").value.length || !dojo.byId("sendText").value.length) {
alert("Please enter some text");
return;
}
dojox.cometd.publish("/demo",{
from: dojo.byId("sendName").value,
text: dojo.byId("sendText").value
});
});
});
</script>The html is a just a simple form to enter you name and message to send
<div id="chatroom">
