In my last post on long polling I went through the basic set up of ColdFusion and BlazeDS before getting into too much code.
This part I want to get a basic connection and a couple of simple messages being sent and received.
I've spent some of my week this week fighting with JavaScript, BlazeDS and ColdFusion to get a working model for some ExtJS functionality that I'm currently building at work.
One of several pieces of functionality we'd like is to have is real time notifications of workflow changes. The way it was described was "we want to push alerts to the users".
I decided to have a look at how we actually addressed this "problem". We didn't really need to "push" alerts to users, so the solution was traditional polling or long polling.
