This application shows a real-time monitor console. Several metrics are reported as they change on the server.

NOTE: This is a demo application. The actual Monitor Console, which is intended for use by the Lightstreamer Server administrators, is available by default from /monitor/ (this can be configured in lightstreamer_conf.xml and proper credentials can be added).

Client Source Code
HTML/JavaScript: pages/demos/MonitorDemo

Subscriptions and Grids Involved:
Three StaticGrids containing the items and fields for the statistics, subscribed to in MERGE mode. Fields from a single item are associated to cells scattered in the page.
Three DynaGrids for the three scrolling log pane items, subscribed to in DISTINCT mode.

Adapters Involved:
MONITOR: an internal Data Adapter that reports monitoring data on Lightstreamer Server itself. Of course, other monitoring applications will need their own Data Adapter.
MonitorDemo: a simple Metadata Adapter that inherits from LiteralBasedProvider. (*)

This application displays real-time market data for ten stocks, generated by a feed simulator.
The front-end code is kept extremely simple and represents a good introduction to Lightstreamer table management. In particular, this code can be considered a reference example of item subscriptions in MERGE mode.

Client Source Code
HTML/JavaScript: pages/demos/StockListDemo_Basic

Subscriptions and Grids Involved:
A StaticGrid containing 10 items, subscribed to in MERGE mode.

Adapters Involved:
QUOTE_ADAPTER: a sample Data Adapter that generates random market data.

With respect to the Basic Stock-List Demo, more features are demonstrated.

Click on the stock names to open pop-up windows that display real-time streaming charts. Notice that the maximum update frequency set for the pop-up windows is greater than the frequency set for the main window. The data is resampled by Lightstreamer Server according to the maximum frequency requested by each subscription (you can easily notice that if you open "Ations Europe").
Click on the link under the table (Next/Previous 15) to dynamically switch between two lists of fifteen items, without losing previously opened pop-ups. If you open the same demo in different browser windows, you will see slightly different values for the most updated stocks. Again, this behavior shows how the data resampling is done in real-time on a per-window basis.

Notice that a large portion of the JavaScript front-end code is devoted to client-side formatting operations.

Client Source Code
HTML/JavaScript: pages/demos/StockListDemo_Basic

Subscriptions and Grids Involved:
A DynaGrid containing up to 15 items, subscribed to in MERGE mode. Note that two Subscriptions are subscribed and unsubscribed alternately according to the list of items to display.
A StaticGrid and a Chart for each pop-up window opened, feeded by the same Subscription containing one item and subscribed to in MERGE mode.

Adapters Involved:
QUOTE_ADAPTER (see Basic Stock-List Demo).
LiteralBasedProvider (see Basic Stock-List Demo).

The same as the Stock-List Demo, but with a different architecture for the LightstreamerClient integration. The LightstreamerClient object is kept in a hidden Frame. For an explanation of the different deployment strategies please refer to the "JavaScript Client Guide.pdf" document.

In the Basic Portfolio Demo a virtual stock portfolio, shared among all the connected users, is displayed. By using the "Submit Order" panel, you can buy or sell a stock (identified by an item number), filling in the Quantity field and pressing the proper button.
The portfolio table is updated in push mode, for both the columns and the rows (this is the so called "metapush" feature).
Click on the column headers to sort the table on different columns.

This portfolio is shared among all the connected users, so you can connect to this demo from different machines (or try at least different browsers on the same machine), then submit orders from one browser and see the updates displayed on another browser.

The front-end code can be considered a reference example of item subscriptions in COMMAND mode.

Client Source Code
HTML/JavaScript: pages/demos/PortfolioDemo_Basic

Subscriptions and Grids Involved:
A DynaGrid containing one item, subscribed to in COMMAND mode. Each row of the table is identified by a unique key. For didactic reasons, this example shows the command and key fields, which are usually hidden.

Adapters Involved:
PORTFOLIO_ADAPTER: a sample Data Adapter that manages a simulated stock portfolio.
PortfolioMetadataAdapter: a simple Metadata Adapter that inherits from LiteralBasedProvider. It plays the extra-role of receiving order submissions from the clients and forwarding them to the Data Adapter. (*)

This application extends the Basic Portfolio Demo by combining live stock prices (as in the Stock-List Demos) with the portfolio contents.

The columns show: stock name, last price, quantity (number of stocks in the portfolio), countervalue (=price*quantity), time of last price.

The portfolio content is the same as the Basic Portfolio Demo (i.e. it subscribes to the same item from the same Data Adapter) and it is shared among all the connected users. Again, you can connect to this demo from different machines and see your operations propagated everywhere.

The front-end code can be considered a reference example of item subscriptions in COMMAND mode with "two-level push".

Compared to the Basic Portfolio Demo a panel has been added to display information about the submission of orders. The columns show: progressive number of order, stock name, type of order (buy or sell), quantity, and status of order (SUBMITTING, PROCESSED, ABORT, DENY, DISCARDED, ERROR).

Client Source Code
HTML/JavaScript: pages/demos/PortfolioDemo

Subscriptions and Grids Involved:
A DynaGrid containing one item, subscribed to in COMMAND mode. Each added row automatically provokes an underlying subscription to a sub-item in MERGE mode, to get the real-time price for that specific stock from another feed (the same as in the Stock-List Demos). When a row is deleted, the underlying sub-item is automatically unsubscribed from.
The order submission is done by sending a message directly to Lightstreamer Server using the LightstreamerClient.sendMessage utility. A DynaGrid is fed dynamically with one row for each sendMessage invocation and updated via an appropriate ClientMessageListener.

Adapters Involved:
PORTFOLIO_ADAPTER (see Basic Portfolio Demo).
QUOTE_ADAPTER (see Basic Stock-List Demo).
PortfolioMetadataAdapter (see Basic Portfolio Demo).

This application shows a changeable list of items within a normal HTML drop-down menu. The contents of the list change in real time, based on the commands pushed by the Server.

The feed that controls the list contents is the same as in the Portfolio Demos (i.e. it subscribes to the same item from the same Data Adapter) and it is shared among all the connected users. So you can see the drop-down menu kept in sync across all the browsers connected to this page.

The front-end code can be considered a reference example of item Subscriptions not associated to a visual Grid, useful when the data visualization does not leverage the Lightstreamer widgets, but custom HTML or third-party widgets.

Client Source Code
HTML/JavaScript: pages/demos/DropDownDemo

Subscriptions and Grids Involved:
One item subscribed to in COMMAND mode, no visual object listening the subscription. Each time the Server sends an add or delete command, the JavaScript code manipulates the drop-down menu to update its contents.

Adapters Involved:
PORTFOLIO_ADAPTER (see Basic Portfolio Demo).
PortfolioMetadataAdapter (see Basic Portfolio Demo).

The Basic Chat Demo implements an extremely simple chat application, where all the users connected to the page can exchange messages. Each message reports the originating IP address, together with the user-agent string of the originating client, instead of leveraging a nick name.

Launch multiple instances of the demo, possibly on different machines, to appreciate the message broadcast capability.

The front-end code can be considered a reference example of item subscriptions in DISTINCT mode.

Client Source Code
HTML/JavaScript: pages/demos/ChatDemo

Subscriptions and Grids Involved:
A DynaGrid containing one item, subscribed to in DISTINCT mode.

Adapters Involved:
CHAT_ROOM: a sample Data Adapter that publishes messages on an item.
ChatMetadataAdapter: a simple Metadata Adapter that inherits from LiteralBasedProvider. It plays the extra-role of receiving messages from the clients and forwarding them to the Data Adapter. (*)

The Basic Instant Messenger Demo shows a very simple version of a typical messenger, where messages can be delivered to a specific friend, chosen from a dynamic list of online buddies.

Choose a nick-name and click Login. You will see a list of all users connected to this demo, with their nicknames. Write a message and choose a recipient. The message will be delivered only to him/her (rather than broadcasting it, as the Basic Chat Demo does).

Launch multiple instances of the demo, possibly on different machines, to populate the Buddies list. If you use the same nick-name on different instances, you will actually embody the same identity (to keep things simple, no authentication is used).

The front-end code can be considered a reference example of one-to-one messaging. Each user subscribes to their personal item (corresponding to the nick-name), so that messages can be routed properly, instead of begin broadcast (as in the Chat Demo, where all the users subscribe to the same item). In real applications, where authentication is used, the Metadata Adapter should enforce the association between the user's identity and the item they have the right to subscribe to.

Client Source Code
HTML/JavaScript: pages/demos/MessengerDemo

Subscriptions and Grids Involved:
A DynaGrid containing one item, subscribed to in DISTINCT mode, to get all the personal messages.
A DynaGrid containing one item, subscribed to in COMMAND mode, to get the updated buddy list.

Adapters Involved:
SIMPLE_MESSENGER: a sample Data Adapter that manages the personal users' items and the item dedicated to the buddy list.
IMMetadataAdapter: a simple Metadata Adapter that inherits from LiteralBasedProvider. It plays the extra-role of receiving messages from the clients and forwarding them to the Data Adapter. (*)

[NOTE: Flex clients are only supported by Lightstreamer Presto and Vivace, and not by Lightstreamer Allegro]

This is a Flex version of the Stock-List Demo, where ten items are subscribed to.

The upper table shows the automatic binding of a Lightstreamer data table to a Flex widget (a Grid). You can sort on any columns and drag the columns around. The buttons to the right control the update highlight effects and can stop/start the subscription.

The lower table shows the direct use of pushed values to manually update a Flex widget (a TextArea). The buttons to the right can clear the TextArea and stop/start the subscription.

This is a Flex version of the Portfolio Demo.

The left table shows the automatic binding of a Lightstreamer data table configured to exploit "two-level push" to a Flex widget (a Grid). You can sort on any columns and drag the columns around. Using the form to the right, you can buy or sell a stock. Clicking the "Random Orders" button, 20 random orders are placed in batch mode.

The second Grid, below the orders form, mantains a list of executed orders and their statuses (PROCESSING, PROCESSED, ABORTED or ERROR). Such statuses are received by the demo code by listening for SendMessageAbortEvent, SendMessageErrorEvent, and SendMessageProcessedEvent events. The statuses are then placed in an ArrayCollection that is in turn bound to the DataGrid.

This is a Silverlight version of the Stock-List Demo, where thirty items are subscribed to.

After launching the demo, wait for the "Lightstreamer is pushing..." message to appear, then click the "Subscribe" button to start the data push. A Silverlight Grid is used to display the real-time data. You can sort on any columns and drag the columns around (in this demo the resorting is not done automatically on each update).
