Method Detail

subscribe

public void subscribe(java.lang.String topicName,
                      MessageListener listener)

Description copied from interface: Hub

Called to create a subscription so that future publishes to a similarly named topic alert the MessageListener that a publish has happened.

Warning Currently the topic is a simple string pattern match. This more closely resembles JMS rather than the OpenAjax hub because we're taking the simplistic approach for now. I'm sure there will be some nasty problems that fall out of this.

The OpenAjax hub allows subscriber data that is passed back to the subscriber when the event happens. Since listeners are an ideal place for this data it isn't supported here. The OAA hub also allows for filters, but I'm thinking that this can be easily supported by the listener. What am I missing?
