does anybody have the a4j:push tag functional in an environment simular like mine?

  • Richfaces 4.1-FINAL
  • MyFaces 2.1.5
  • Atmosphere 0.83
  • Tomcat 7.0.23

Any suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks,
Milo van der Zee

TestPushBean.java:

package com.vetmanager.base.test;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.richfaces.application.push.MessageException;
import org.richfaces.application.push.TopicKey;
import org.richfaces.application.push.TopicsContext;

/**

 */
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class TestPushBean {
    private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(TestPushBean.class.getName());

    private static final TopicKey TOPIC_KEY = new TopicKey("push");

    /**
     * Constructor init's the topic.
     */
    public TestPushBean() {
        LOGGER.debug("TestPushBean");

        TopicsContext topicsContext = TopicsContext.lookup();
        topicsContext.getOrCreateTopic(TOPIC_KEY);
    }

    /**
     * @return String
     */
    public String getNow() {
        LOGGER.debug("getNow");

        Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy/HH:mm:ss");
        return dateFormatter.format(now.getTime());
    }

    /**
     * 
     */
    public void push() {
        LOGGER.debug("push");

        TopicsContext topicsContext = TopicsContext.lookup();
        try {
            topicsContext.publish(TOPIC_KEY, "Test String");
        } catch (MessageException e) {
            LOGGER.error("push: " + e, e);
        }
    }
}

    This forum post may be useful from someone who is using Servlets API 2.5
    (also problem when you are using web.xml with version=2.5):

    https://community.jboss.org/message/647015#647015

    Btw your specific issue may be:

    Use Atmosphere 0.8.0-RC1 with RichFaces 4.1.0.Final, since Atmosphere 0.8.3 has incompatible API with RC1!

    Otherwise I would need to provide some symptoms.
