There is a GWT Comet Module for StreamHub:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-comet-streamhub/
StreamHub is a Comet server with a free community edition. There is an example of it in action here.
You'll need to download the StreamHub Comet server and create a new SubscriptionListener, use the StockDemo example as a starting point, then create a new JsonPayload to stream the data:
Payload payload = new JsonPayload("AAPL");
payload.addField("bid", "88.84");
payload.addField("ask", "88.86");
server.publish("AAPL", payload);
...
Download the JAR from the google code site, add it to your GWT projects classpath and add the include to your GWT module:
<inherits name="com.google.gwt.json.JSON" />
<inherits name="com.streamhub.StreamHubGWTAdapter" />
Connect and subscribe from your GWT code:
StreamHubGWTAdapter streamhub = new StreamHubGWTAdapter();
streamhub.connect("http://localhost:7979/");
StreamHubGWTUpdateListener listener = new StockListener();
streamhub.subscribe("AAPL", listener);
streamhub.subscribe("IBM", listener);
streamhub.subscribe("GOOG", listener);
...
Then process the updates how you like in the update listener (also in the GWT code):
public class StockListener implements StreamHubGWTUpdateListener {
public void onUpdate(String topic, JSONObject update) {
String bid = ((JSONString)update.get("bid")).stringValue();
String ask = ((JSONString)update.get("ask")).stringValue();
String symbol = topic;
...
}
}
Don't forget to include streamhub-min.js in your GWT projects main HTML page.
