Juggernaut Description

Revolutionize your Rails app by letting the server initiate a connection and push data to the client Juggernaut is a Rails plugin that sets up a real time xmlsocket between the browser and the server, allowing the server to push data to the client, much the same as comet.Juggernaut aims to revolutionize your Rails app by letting the server initiate a connection and push data to the client. In other words your app can have a real time connection to the server with the advantage of instant updates. Although the obvious use of this is for chat, the most exciting prospect is collaborative cms and wikis.What happens:· Client A opens socket connection to the socket server· Client B makes Ajax call to Rails· Rails sends message to the socket server· Socket server broadcasts message to clients Here are some key features of "Juggernaut": · Allows a real time connection with a client - Rails can literally push javascript in real time to the client which is then evaluated. · Push server - written in Ruby using EventMachine. EventMachine has a non-blocking IO so scales very well · Integrated, as a plugin, into Rails. · Subscribers can subscribe to multiple channels, and broadcasters can broadcast to multiple channels. · Broadcasts can be made to channels, or to a specific client. · Connect/Disconnect triggers. · Authentication support. · Uses Flash 8 - installed on more than 95% of computers. · Supports all the major browsers (uses ExternalInterface): Firefox 1+, IE 6+ and Safari 2+. Requirements: · Rails 2.0.2 or edge · Json gem (gem install json) · EventMachine gem (gem install eventmachine) · Juggernaut gem (gem install juggernaut) What's New in This Release: · Some API changes
