I´ve written a supporting-solution for a little internet service provider using gwt 2.4.
It analyzes a few parameters of customers cable modems (receiving/sending – signal strengthes, frequencies and so on).
This time, it works only reactive after a support agent clicked the analyze button for a modem in the application.
The application is hosted at a tomcat 7 application server.
Now to my question:
I want to record the modem-parameters of every modem of our infrastructure to a database automated once a day – maybe at night.
Where should I place the code in my gwt application?
Or did I need a sperate project for doing that?
Or better: where I have to start? 🙂
I would be thankful if anyone have an answer for me!
The easiest way would be to include all the monitoring and recording code in a plain Java servlet. You can deploy this servlet with your GWT app in tomcat.
You can then set up a cron job to call the servlet’s url. Check out the curl command.
