Java SDK Sending Data

Hello John,

You could try creating a remote service which actually triggers the simulator to send the data.

The remote service will be called in ThingWorx and it will basically ask the simulator to push the data once.

Hi John,

The sending of data is done in a while loop  in the main method of the SteamSensorClient :

   // As long as the client has not been shutdown, continue  

while(!client.isShutdown()) {

// Only process the Virtual Things if the client is connected  

if(client.isConnected()) {

   // Loop over all the Virtual Things and process them   

   for(VirtualThing thing : client.getThings().values()) {

     try {

        thing.processScanRequest();

    } catch(Exception eProcessing) {

       System.out.println("Error Processing Scan Request for [" + thing.getName() + "] : " + eProcessing.getMessage());

     }

  }

}

   // Suspend processing at the scan rate interval   

   Thread.sleep(scanRate);

}

If you'd like to send data only once remove this code and replace it with this :

if(client.isConnected()) {

   // Loop over all the Virtual Things and process them   

   for(VirtualThing thing : client.getThings().values()) {

     try {

        thing.processScanRequest();

    }  catch(Exception eProcessing) {

       System.out.println("Error Processing Scan Request for [" + thing.getName() + "] : " + eProcessing.getMessage());

     }

  }

}

You could also have a remote method like Ciprian suggested with this

if(client.isConnected()) {

   // Loop over all the Virtual Things and process them   

   for(VirtualThing thing : client.getThings().values()) {

     try {

        thing.processScanRequest();

    }  catch(Exception eProcessing) {

       System.out.println("Error Processing Scan Request for [" + thing.getName() + "] : " + eProcessing.getMessage());

     }

  }

}

and call it only once in a ThingWorx Mashup or script.

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

Veronica
