Demos

The demos in the Demos section of the default Diffusion™ installation web page demonstrate various applications of Diffusion .

To access the Diffusion demos, start the server and type in the following URL into a browser: https://localhost:8080. (You may need to modify this if your Diffusion server is on a different machine or has been set to use a different port.)

Note that the Sportsbook demo publishing client must be started by running:

java -jar sportsbook-demo-publisher-jar-with-dependencies.jar

from within /examples/demos.

Table 1. Demos provided with the Diffusion server
Drawing Board demo	Multiple users draw on a virtual blackboard with colored chalk. All clients are updated in real time with strokes from the other clients. Open this demo in multiple browsers to see the responsiveness of client interactions. Requires Canvas support in the browser.
Sportsbook demo	Demonstrates live, high-frequency updating of betting odds for a list of football matches. Includes a Java publishing client which provides a list of odds as a JSON topic, and a viewer which subscribes to the topic using in-browser JavaScript.

To view the source code of the demos, go to /examples/demos within your Diffusion installation folder.
