Server-Side Events on External Application

[alazydope]

I'm trying to allow Server-Side events for an external web server, however I'm not really sure what to set to allow this, and haven't found much in the docs. Currently using a proxy with context, but if there's a better way to go about this, it would be appreciated.

Do you mean that you have another service running on the same server, and you set a web server External Application for it? It sounds right to me.

Maybe you can describe the event in more details, and why you want to change the current setup?

So I have a java application that acts as a web server running on the same machine as OLS that I wanted to access with a certain subdomain. I created an external web server application, pointed it to the correct address and port, and the web page loads, however it doesn't receive the updates from the java application that it should, leading to a blank page with no data loaded.

For anyone else having this issue, my problem was the example vhost which I copied for this had an exp:^.*(css|js)$ static context, which was hijacking requests for those files meant for the external application. Removing this context resolved my issue.

Good to know you have found the root cause.
