CometListener

trait CometListener extends CometActor

This trait adds functionality to automatically register with a given Actor using AddAListener and RemoveAListener control messages. The most typical usage would be to register with an instance of ListenerManager. You will need to provide a def/val for the

registerWith
member to control which Actor to connect to.

See ListenerManager for a complete example.

  2. abstract def render: RenderOut

    It's the main method to override, to define what is rendered by the CometActor

    It's the main method to override, to define what is rendered by the CometActor

    There are implicit conversions for a bunch of stuff to RenderOut (including NodeSeq). Thus, if you don't declare the return turn to be something other than RenderOut and return something that's coercible into RenderOut, the compiler "does the right thing"(tm) for you.
    There are implicit conversions for NodeSeq, so you can return a pile of XML right here. There's an implicit conversion for NodeSeq => NodeSeq, so you can return a function (e.g., a CssBindFunc) that will convert the defaultHtml to the correct output. There's an implicit conversion from JsCmd, so you can return a pile of JavaScript that'll be shipped to the browser.
    Note that the render method will be called each time a new browser tab is opened to the comet component or the comet component is otherwise accessed during a full page load (this is true if a partialUpdate has occurred.) You may want to look at the fixedRender method which is only called once and sets up a stable rendering state.
