http://blog.industria.com/testbed Standing on the shoulders of midgets -- Lots of midgets. Fri, 21 Dec 2007 13:25:48 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've just re-written the JobScheduler, but can't commit it from this hotel which blocks everything except web traffic. The new implementation has pluggable re-scheduling strategies, with three initial implementations for running once, running at fixed intervals with a random initial wait and for running on a boundary, such as on ... http://blog.industria.com/testbed/2007/10/27/jobscheduler-mkii/ Thanks to Piers at Ekioh and a few emails back and forth with debug builds and information, redirects now works like in dream. So now you can use your regular url to access Zignal. http://lt-fannar:8088/index.svg http://blog.industria.com/testbed/2007/10/24/ekioh-http-redirect-is-now-working/ It turned out that the log4js library we'd started adopting does not support globally configured appenders, but rather expected us to configure appenders for each individual logger. Also, it's rather big, unwieldy and has more levels of indirection than you really want in a tight loop in javascript. We therefore went ... http://blog.industria.com/testbed/2007/10/23/log4es-logging-for-ecmascript/ To be able to load Zignal in Ekioh you need to go directly to /launch/client with correct parameters because it seams like Ekioh doesn't support redirect in the http layer. Example url: http://lt-fannar:8088/launch/client?JSESSIONID=&Zignal-DmrSelector=Ekioh/db3073ab7ced&Zignal-DmrTypeSelector=Ekioh/Ekioh&Zignal-MacAddress=db3073ab7ced&renderingType=svg&Zignal-AccountSelector=1&Zignal-AccountPassword=1234&Zignal-DmrDriver=ekioh Update : Redirect now works! :) http://blog.industria.com/testbed/2007/10/23/to-load-zignal-in-ekioh/ The below code is a complete mockup of the channel-switching messaging and interactions, without actually switching channels or showing any svg graphics. It showcases the new JobScheduler and builds on the previous example. We set up a job scheduler which delegates to a timer adapter using the browser's window.setTimeout(...) and window.clearTimeout(...) ... http://blog.industria.com/testbed/2007/10/19/jobscheduler-and-channel-switch-mockup/ The following testbed sets up an ObjectReferenceModel representing the channelPlaybackModel and simulates some of the interaction for our 2.0-M02 milestone. It also sets up a couple of listeners to changes to the channel playback selection. Finally, a loop will repeatedly wait for the user to click a button, then request a ... http://blog.industria.com/testbed/2007/10/19/objectreferencemodel-and-synchronous-dwr-calls/ This testbed shows how Dustin Diaz' publisher framework can be imported and used. It is structured like a unit test and may be converted into one as the infrastructure for that is made more accessible. http://blog.industria.com/testbed/2007/10/19/4/ We've recently added a testbed to the zignal 2 server so javascript developers can write testbed.js files to test whatever library or application code they're working with and run it in the context of the whole application. This blog is started as a place to publish these testbeds for others ... http://blog.industria.com/testbed/2007/10/19/testbeds/
