Oracle JET Live List with WebSocket. I have updated sample - Oracle JET and WebSocket Integration for Live Data, to include live data list. Along with live updates delivered to the chart component, list component displays changed data.

Oracle JET and WebSocket Integration for Live Data. I was researching how to plugin WebSocket into JET. I would like to share my findings and explain how it works. It is amazing, how scalable and quick it is to send JSON message through WebSocket channel and render it in JET. Luckily WebSocket client is implemented in JavaScript, this integrates perfectly with Oracle JET (also based on JavaScript).

Automatic ADF Logout on Browser Close with WebSocket. Every ADF project could have a requirement to handle browser close event effectively. Differently than desktop applications where we could handle such events, browser doesn't send any event to the server, when browser page is closed. This is especially important for transactional data, when user locks data row and lock must be released automatically, in case if user is closing browser without unlocking. Besides transactional data management, it is important for performance improvement - Web session will be closed instantly and WebLogic resources will be released. There was no reliable solution to handle this, now we can do it with WebLogic 12c and WebSockets. WebLogic 12c supports WebSockets natively, there is no need to configure anything or add libraries.

ADF and Two-Way WebSocket Communication Architecture. This post is based on WebSockets and ADF, topic described in the previous post - WebSocket Integration with ADF for PPR Request Monitoring. I would like to look into it from technical architecture perspective and split WebSockets server logic into separate application deployed on WebLogic. WebSocket is two-way (bidirectional) communication channel, this allows to send and received data at the same time. I'm going to demonstrate how it works with my sample application.

WebSocket Accelerated Live Data Synchronization for MAF. New generation Mobile and Web applications are going to use WebSockets. This is one of the fastest and convenient ways to transfer JSON formatted data from the server to the client and back. Huge advantage - server could initiate data synchronisation request and deliver JSON messages directly to the client. You should read my previous post about detail information how to configure MAF with WebSocket - Oracle MAF and WebSockets Integration - Live Twitter Stream.

Oracle MAF and WebSockets Integration - Live Twitter Stream. Oracle MAF and WebSockets - I will describe how it works together. WebSockets is a protocol providing full-duplex communication channel over a TCP connection. This channel is interactive (communication is both ways) and we can send messages from the server to the client (MAF application running on the device). There is no need to use push notifications, WebSockets provide JSON support and allow to send complex payload data. In a way it competes with REST, however REST is different with request is being initiated by the client. WebSockets data is received automatically - there is no need to trigger any event by the client.

WebSocket Integration with ADF for PPR Request Monitoring. WebSocket is a protocol enabling communication over TCP connection. Communication is interactive, meaning data can be sent both ways - from the server to the Web client and back. Data is sent through WebSocket channel, without using using regular HTTP. This means we can enable communication between server and Web client without consuming bandwidth from HTTP. WebLogic 12c is shipped with required libraries for WebSocket support, we can use this protocol straight away in ADF 12c. WebSocket supports JSON format, this allows to send and receive JSON formatted data, just the same as REST. In this post I'm going to describe how WebSocket could be used, to report PPR request time measured on the Web client (Monitoring PPR Request Time on ADF UI Client Side), back to the server.
