Instruct a shared whiteboard to save and refresh (See related posts)

The following code used with the ProjectX API informs the client web browser that the whiteboard will be refreshed in 5 seconds. It then archives the current whiteboard information, formats it, and sends a message to each web browser to refresh their view.

<project name="whiteboardqueue">
  <methods>
    <method name="create">
      <params>
        <param var="type">ecmascript</param>
        <param var="body">startRefresh(5)</param>
        <param var="sender">system</param>
      </params>
    </method>
    <method name="timer">
      <params>
        <param var="timer">5</param>
      </params>
    </method>
    <method name="archive_and_format">
      <params/>
    </method>
    <method name="create">
      <params>
        <param var="type">ecmascript</param>
        <param var="body">reloadDocument()</param>
        <param var="sender">system</param>
      </params>
    </method>
  </methods>
</project>
