Introduction: I have an application that uses a webpage as the GUI and the backend is written in Java so thuswebsockets using Apache Tomcat 7 are the way I am communicating between the GUI and the backend code that does all the grunt work. A websocket server is the go between, between the backend code and the GUI part of the application.
Here is the flow of the communication. >From GUI to backend: GUI-->WebSocketServer-->Backend >From backend to GUI: Backend-->WebSocketServer-->Backend Problem: The problem I am wanting to solve, is if a user request an action to be done on the GUI and then an error is encountered I want only that specific user to get an error message not everyone connected to the site that is the GUI. The only feasible way I can think of doing this right now, is sending the session ID of the user requesting the action as part of the websocket message and then storing that using ID corresponding to the action requested in something like a HashMap. Then if there is an error while performing the requested action put some logic in the websocket server code to extract the session ID from the message being sent back to the GUI and send the error message to this specific session. Question: My question is, is there any simplier way to do this of sending a message to a specific user between ajava back end and a web page front end that communicate using web sockets, or is this the only way possible to achieve what I am trying to do? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
