Constructor Detail

PollingServerPush

public PollingServerPush()

Method Detail

startClientPush

protected void startClientPush()

Sends an AU response to the client to start the server push. It is called by start(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Desktop).

The derived class usually overrides this method to support different devices, such as ZK Mobile.

The default implementation is to send AuScript containing the script returned by getStartScript(). Devices that don't support scripts could override this method to send a custom AU response (AuResponse).

Since:

3.6.1

stopClientPush

protected void stopClientPush()

Sends an AU response the client to stop the server push.

The derived class usually overrides this method to support different devices, such as ZK Mobile.

The default implementation is to send AuScript containing the script returned by getStopScript(). Devices that don't support scripts could override this method to send a custom AU response (AuResponse).

Since:

3.6.1

getStartScript

protected java.lang.String getStartScript()

Returns the JavaScript codes to enable (aka., start) the server push. It is called by startClientPush() to prepare the script of AuScript that will be sent to the client.

getStopScript

protected java.lang.String getStopScript()

Returns the JavaScript codes to disable (aka., stop) the server push. It is called by stopClientPush() to prepare the script of AuScript that will be sent to the client.

isActive

public boolean isActive()

Description copied from interface: ServerPush

Returns if the working thread of the server push is active. In other words, it is true if it is between Executions.activate(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Desktop) and Executions.deactivate(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Desktop).

Specified by:

isActive in interface ServerPush

start

public void start(Desktop desktop)

Description copied from interface: ServerPush

Stats and initializes the server-push controller. One server-push controller is associated with exactly one desktop.

ServerPush.start(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Desktop) is called when Desktop.enableServerPush(boolean) is called to enable the server-push feature for the specified desktop.

Specified by:

start in interface ServerPush

stop

public void stop()

Description copied from interface: ServerPush

Stops and cleans up the server-push controller.

ServerPush.stop() is called when Desktop.enableServerPush(boolean) is called to disable the server-push feature, or when the desktop is being removed.

Specified by:

stop in interface ServerPush

setDelay

public void setDelay(int min,
                     int max,
                     int factor)

Sets the delay between each polling request.

Default: use the preference called PollingServerPush.delay.min PollingServerPush.delay.max, and PollingServerPush.delay.factor. If not defined, min is 1000, max is 15000, and factor is 5.

Specified by:

setDelay in interface ServerPush

Parameters:

min - the minimal delay to poll the server for any pending server-push threads. Ignore (aka., the default value is used) if non-positive. Unit: milliseconds.

max - the maximal delay to poll the server for any pending server-push threads. Ignore (aka., the default value is used) if non-positive. Unit: milliseconds.

factor - the delay factor. The real delay is the processing time multiplies the delay factor. For example, if the last request took 1 second to process, then the client polling will be delayed for 1 x factor seconds, unless it is value Ignore (aka., the default value is used) if non-positive.

onPiggyback

public void onPiggyback()

Description copied from interface: ServerPush

Called when Events.ON_PIGGYBACK is received. The invocation is passive (i.e., triggered by other events, rather than spontaneous).

This method is called in the context of an event listener. In other words, the execution is activated and you can retrieve it by Executions.getCurrent().

Specified by:

onPiggyback in interface ServerPush

activate

public boolean activate(long timeout)
                 throws java.lang.InterruptedException,
                        DesktopUnavailableException

Description copied from interface: ServerPush

Activate the current thread (which must be a server-push thread). It causes the current thread to wait until the desktop is available to access, the desktop no longer exists, some other thread interrupts this thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

The invoker of this method must invoke ServerPush.deactivate(boolean) in this finally clause.

Note: the activation is applied to the desktop that was assigned by ServerPush.start(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Desktop).

Unlike ServerPush.onPiggyback(), this method is NOT called in the context of an event listener. Rather, it is called in the thread of a server-push thread.

Specified by:

activate in interface ServerPush

Parameters:

timeout - the maximum time to wait in milliseconds. Ingored (i.e., never timeout) if non-positive.

Returns:

whether it is activated or it is timeout. The only reason it returns false is timeout.

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException - if it is interrupted by other thread

DesktopUnavailableException - if the desktop is removed (when activating).

deactivate

public boolean deactivate(boolean stop)

Description copied from interface: ServerPush

Deactvates the current thread (which must be a server-push thread).

Specified by:

deactivate in interface ServerPush

Parameters:

stop - whether to stop after deactivate

Returns:

true if it is stopped
