Description
This extension was created by XWiki labs with the support of the research project OpenPaas::NG.
This is the backend support for Realtime Applications using the Netflux API.
You probably don't want to install this directly but if you are interested in building a realtime editor, especially an editor based on ChainPad, this may provide the middleware support you need. Note that this extension makes use of the XWiki Websocket Extension which requires a firewall exception for the websocket port (the default port number is 8093) see the XWiki Websocket Extension for more information.
Netflux is a client transport API used in XWiki for realtime applications. This implementation is based on WebSocket and communications between the server and the client can be done following this protocol
