* Fixup license headers of the files written by me.Milian Wolff2014-01-1626-113/+135
| | | | | | | | | | | | Some tests referenced Nokia in their license even though that was never the case. The tests where written completely by me after Qt Nokia times. What is missing are the examples which are still mostly original work by Noam back then in Nokia times. The rest was (re-)written by me completely since then anyways.

* Properly convert JSON data to target type of function parameter.Milian Wolff2014-01-104-44/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This used to work but broke in one of the last few commits apparently. Now we add a proper unit test to ensure it stays working. The issue was that JSON only knows e.g. numeric types stored as double. When we then try to call a method taking an int with the VariantArgument that tries to convert the double to int, we failed and produced an invalid QVariant which then converts to 0. Now we use the appropriate API to convert the JSON data to the correct target type before calling the method. Furthermore, it became clear that we can greatly cleanup the VariantArgument thanks to that. It now is reduced to just a QVariant wrapper class with an implicit cast operator to QGenericArgument.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The new registeredObjects list property is now preferred over the old imparative registerObject/registerObjects API. Items that are added to the list need an attached WebChannel.id property which holds the identifier under which the object is published to remote clients.

* Fix regression in handling of var-emitting signals from QML.Milian Wolff2014-01-092-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | Qt 5.3 propagates var-arguments of signals as QJSValue instead of as a QVariant. This then fails to be serialized to QJson, failing our unit tests. Now, QJSValue types are manually casted to QJsonValues which makes the tests pass again. Change-Id: I730c595eee214ebe3d1f83009cd5605f66407f55 Reviewed-by: Simon Hausmann <simon.hausmann@digia.com>

* Optimize: Use property-indices instead of names for notifications.Milian Wolff2014-01-084-30/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reduces the traffic as the indices are usually much smaller than the property names. As such, the benchPropertyUpdates gets a speed boost of about 9% (or 10ms vs. 11ms). As we need to transmit the index during initialization that degrades its performance slightly by ca. 4% (13ms vs. 12.5ms). Considering that the initialization only takes place once whereas the property updates potentially often, this is a good tradeoff.

Note that the Qt.labs namespace is removed. The test file structure is also adapted to how its done in the QtDeclarative module.

* Port the MetaObjectPublisher to C++.Milian Wolff2013-12-1113-549/+1087
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will allow us to create a stand-alone WebChannel C++ library, without any QML dependencies, that can be used to publisher QObjects to remote clients running in any browser engine supporting WebSockets. The patch is large, as working with introspection through the QMetaObject from C++ is more complicated compared to QML. On the other hand, the move to C++ allows a much more performant implementation of quite some parts of the publisher. One thing is that signal and method invocations can be handled via numeric indices, where before we needed to transmit the string identifier of the signal or method. Eventually this can now also be applied to properties, further decreasing the size of messages between server and clients. Note that this patch contains quite some TODOs and rough edges, such as the invokable bench_* helper functions in the public API of the MetaObjectPublisher. These are to be seen as temporary, and will be cleaned up in followup commits later. This is done to prevent a further blow-up of this already big patch.

* Greatly optimize WebChannel in various ways.Milian Wolff2013-11-019-111/+467
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a big code drop - sorry for that. The benefits are worth it though, I'm sure. The optimizations were required to make the WebChannel useable even on a low-end embedded device with medium amount of traffic. The changes in this patch can be grouped into different parts: a) Do more in C++: Esp. by leveraging e.g. the new classInfoForObjects in QtMetaObjectPublisher (on the C++ side) one can greatly reduce the time required for initialization of the webchannel. b) Property Caching: Instead of requiring a socket roundtrip whenever a property is read on the HTML side, we now cache the property values on the HTML side. Note that for this to work properly, one needs to add proper notify signals to the property declarations, as otherwise the cache will not get updated. c) Grouping: Instead of sending separate messages to the clients for every property update, these signals are grouped by a 50ms timer, and then send aggregated to the client. This reduces the socket traffic, as more boiler plate can be shared. d) Compression: Some data was previously send repeatedly, such as property name and notify signal. This is now compressed internally where possible (i.e. for the ${propName}Changed naming scheme). e) Message Flood Prevention: Previously, one could easily flood an HTML client by sending data to it. If it could not work off the incoming stream one would freeze the HTML client. Now, we wait for an idle signal of the client prior to sending new data to it. Paired with the message grouping and property cache mentioned above, we are able to only send the newest data once the HTML client becomes active again. I.e. we discard now-obsolete property updates etc. Change-Id: I8f3ae16ed6c1f6a89b644acdce7efbf0f07fc786 Reviewed-by: Pierre Rossi <pierre.rossi@gmail.com>
