Using af:poll to refresh and push data in page and databound table in ADF

Poll component delivers poll event to server at fixed intervals, we use poll in adf as an alternative of ADS (Active Data Service), this is very simple example of pushing data to page at some fix interval.
Basically af:poll component push data to UI from server.

• This example contains a page with an af:table binded to Department VO, and I have used a poll component to refresh table periodically.

• and defined pollListener on af:poll component that sends request to server in every 4 sec, and table get refreshed

• Other approach to actively push data is ADS, but af:poll is still in use , to refresh table i have written in poll listener



        AppModuleAMImpl am = (AppModuleAMImpl)resolvElDC("AppModuleAMDataControl");

        ViewObject vo = am.getDepartment1();
        vo.executeQuery();
        i = i + 1;
        this.refreshInfo = "Data Reloaded-" + i+"  Total Row-->"+vo.getRowCount();
        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(refrshMsgBind);
