BACKOFFICE APPLICATION EXAMPLE

public function send() {

		$speed = $_POST['ctrl-2'];
		$acc = $_POST['ctrl-3'];

		$APEserver = 'http://ape.ape-test.local:6969/?';

			'cmd' => 'inlinepush',
			'params' => array(
				'password' => $APEPassword,
				'raw' => 'postmsg',
				'channel' => 'testChannel',
				'data' => array( //Note: data can't be a string
					'ctrl-1' => array('value'=>$light),
					'ctrl-2' => array('value'=>$speed, 'acc'=>$acc)
				)
			)

FRONTEND APPLICATION EXAMPLE
----------------------------
<script type="text/javascript">

  var client = new APE.Client();
	client.load({'channel': 'testChannel'});

	client.addEvent('load', function() {
		client.core.start({'name': new Date().getTime().toString()});
	});

	client.onRaw('postmsg', function(params) {
	
		var light = params.data['ctrl-1'].value;
		var speed = params.data['ctrl-2'].value;
		var acc = params.data['ctrl-2'].acc;
		
		if(speed && acc) {
			mygauge.animate(speed, acc);
		}
		mypilot.set(light.toInt());

	})
</script>

CLIENT
=================
Configure the hosts file to point to the server:

FILE APE_JSF/Clients/Javascript.php
-----------------------------------
File included by the front end application
The problem I found here is that when the frequency encreases:
n.ape.ape-test.local
(n+1).ape.ape-test.local
the application stop to work, it would work if I put the n and n+1.ape.ape-test.local
in the /etc/hosts file, but then the problem starts again with greater n values...
so CUSTOM hard code:
line 98:
  config.frequency = 1;

FILE APE_JSF/Demos/config.js
