Comet, next steps

[Filip Hanik - Dev Lists]

Gents, I have played around with the Comet implementation, fixed a few bugs and got the initial it working, including async data from both client and server. I wanted to you get your input on moving forward with the following features: 1. If CometServlet.read return false, the adapter should call CometServlet.end, not CometServlet.error (easy) 2. If CometServlet.read throws an error, then the adapter should call CometServlet.error (easy) 3. Keep-Alive socket support, when CometServlet.read returns false, don't close the socket, keep alive should still work and we should still be able to process more HTTP requests on that connection. So change the status to comet=false, and process the next request like a standard HTTP request (medium) 4. The ability to close the channel from the server async (medium) - two ways - a) timeout b) call back from a separate thread And then the following steps 1. Create a user guide for the CometServlet usage 2. Create an example in servlet-examples Let me know your thoughts, Filip -- Filip Hanik
