J2EE driscoll 2008-06-26T14:05:44-08:00 http://weblogs.java.net/blog/driscoll/archive/2008/06/writing_a_littl.html Creating a program that works with the Glassfish update center isn't especially hard, but it isn't very well documented. This blog is an attempt to remedy that. I just finished writing a Glassfish update center module. While simple examples have already been blogged about, this one is a little more complex - it installs a new version of JSF on Glassfish. I'll go over some of the things you have to do to make a more complex update than just dropping a zip file into a new directory.

It's pretty simple - just 200 lines of Java code (including the game logic), 50 lines of JavaScript (embedded in an HTML page), 50 lines of HTML, and a 75 line CSS file. Simple stuff, but if you're looking to write your own Comet app, this might help get you started.

The answer is so obvious that I'm a little embarressed I missed it - it's the onload event for iframe. This solution works for both long polling and HTTP Streaming connections that use a hidden iframe.

The JSF Datatables Howto (at http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/06/using-datatables.html) written by BalusC is a great getting started guide to using databases with JSF, and if this is something you're looking for, check it out...
