Question about atlas and web interface update
Sun, 24 Sep 2006 21:47:39 +000
Is the following scenario possible with atlas:

A web based application is run on a server, so clients use web browser to access
it. The application uses inforamation from a database to populate the UI with
the information. The information is stored in a database and can be changed
either from the application or some other source (lets say another server). Is
is possible to update the UI on a user's computer when the database is updated
from the other server (the user doesn't need to refresh the screen manualy)?

 Thanks in advance,
Marko Vuksanovic.

hello.

well, it's possible, though probably not as  you wanted. what you must do is
poll the server from the client from x to x seconds and if there's new info,
then refresh the client. the most common approach is:

1- wrap the contents that need to be refreshed with an updatepanel

2- call the web service from x to x seconds; if there's new info, then refresh
the panel.
