I showed the output previously, but I will do it again. If I add a println like this: (defn add-to-logged-in-registry [this-users-params] (let [right-now (. (Date.) getTime) new-user-entry (conj this-users-params { "updated" right-now })] (println apply str new-user-entry) (if (:username new-user-entry) (swap! registry assoc (:username new-user-entry) new-user-entry)))) This code works perfectly at the REPL so to show a problem I have to upload this to the live server. So I compile this and upload it to the server and start it up and immediately the Javascript in the browsers of dozens of users starts to bombard the app: java -jar who-is-logged-in-1.0.1-standalone.jar 40000 App 'Who is logged in?' is starting port: 40000 2012-10-19 11:37:02.731:INFO:oejs.Server:jetty-7.x.y-SNAPSHOT 2012-10-19 11:37:02.846:INFO:oejs.AbstractConnector:Started SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:40000 #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661023079, username rumbella, first_name , last_name , user_image , site www.wpquestions.com} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661023140, username karlorihoo, first_name Karlo, last_name Rihoo, user_image , site www.wpquestions.com} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661023698} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661024149, username Rainner, first_name Rainner, last_name Lins, user_image Rainner_phptZ2nEJ.jpg, site www.javascriptquestions.com} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661024159} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661024269} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661024646} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661024833, username dbranes, first_name Dbranes, last_name , user_image dbranes_phpPJVl3f.jpg, site www.wpquestions.com} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661025140, username Christianto, first_name Christianto, last_name , user_image Christianto_phpqESzHW.jpg, site www.wpquestions.com} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661025337, username jsoni, first_name Jatin, last_name Soni, user_image jsoni_phpYlWQTr.jpg, site www.wpquestions.com} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661025651} #<core$apply clojure.core$apply@d1fba79> #<core$str clojure.core$str@7dfde44e> {updated 1350661025996} So, why does this not work? And what is the right way to be sure that this: {updated 1350661025996} Is never added to the registry (since there is no username).
