.NET with external feed

[markgoldin]

Yes, I have gotten my modified HelloWord sample working. But what I need in reality is the following:
I am going to have let's say 10 HelloWord like programs that are listening to 10 external processes to get data. Then I need LS to push data being collected from 10 adapters to the same html page. In order to achive that what I do? Just
describing all 10 adapters in my ProxyHelloWorld\adapters.xml file and that's all?

Thanks for all your hlep.

Defining multiple Data Adapters and sending all their data to a single client page is not possible at the moment, though it will become possible with the next release of the software.
However, you can connect to all your external processes from a single Data Adapter and assign to each flow a different item name. Your client would be able to ask for all data by specifying all the item names, in a way similar to the StockList demo example provided in Lightstreamer package.

Alright, I uderstand.
I want to show a code fragment from my modified Hello World:
<script>
/////////////////PushPage Configuration
var debugAlerts = true;
var remoteAlerts = false;

var page = new PushPage();
page.context.setDomain("ufandd.local");
page.onEngineCreation = function(lsEngine) {
lsEngine.connection.setLSHost("ufdcrdev0005.ufandd .local");
lsEngine.connection.setLSPort(8080);
lsEngine.context.setDebugAlertsOnClientError(debug Alerts);
lsEngine.context.setRemoteAlertsOnClientError(remo teAlerts);

lsEngine.connection.setAdapterName("PROXY_HELLOWOR LD");
lsEngine.changeStatus("STREAMING");
}
page.bind();
page.createEngine("HelloWorldApp", "LS", "SHARE_SESSION");

var pushtable = new OverwriteTable(null, null, "MERGE");
page.addTable(pushtable, "hellotable");
pushtable.onItemUpdate =
function(itemPos, updateInfo, itemName)
{
// send completed scan to the front-end
alert(updateInfo.getNewValue(itemPos));
serverData(updateInfo.getNewValue(itemPos));
};
</script>
As you can see I am overriding onItemUpdate because I also want to send data to somewherre else. It works fine, sort of. For the very first time alert box will pop up only once (as expected), but next data update will trigger the alert box twice: first with an empty value, second with the real value.

Can you tell me what am I doing wrong here?

BTW, my adapter's console shows one value every time.

The snippet does not fully describe the test, because the

new OverwriteTable(null, null, "MERGE");

instruction asks the library to find all items and fields defined in the push cells, which are in the HTML part of the page.

To get a better idea of the update flow, please show us a Server log taken after modifying the log configuration file, by setting the priority of the "LightstreamerLogger.subscriptions" and "LightstreamerLogger.pump" categories to DEBUG.

While I am working on that I have another question:
Is it possible to hide these DIVs so they will not take any space on a page:
<div source="lightstreamer" table="hellotable" item="greetings" field="message">loading...</div>
<div source="lightstreamer" table="hellotable" item="greetings" field="timestamp">loading...</div>

Thanks

yes of course, you can set to their css the display:none value and then in the onChangingValues callback add such style to their hot and cold statuses:

<br /> setAttribute("message", "none", "none", "display"); <br /> setAttribute("timestamp", "none", "none", "display");<br />

Btw note that if those are the only fields in your table (ie you don't want that LS shows any cells) you can use a NonVisualTable instead of the OverwriteTable:

<br /> var pushtable = new NonVisualTable(["greetings"], ["message","timestamp"], "MERGE"); <br />

HTH.
