Hello Devs,
My team currently uses tomcat8 to serve our Scala application developed
using lift. Our application uses comet to send real time data from the
server to the client.
Unfortunately we noticed that in the new release of tomcat - tomcat9,
comet is no longer supported because
*
Web Sockets is already far more popular (based on question volume on the
users list)
*
Comet support adds a fair amount of complexity to the connector code
Though, web sockets might be more popular, but there are frameworks that
rely solely on comet for real time features. Some frameworks like lift
don't support web sockets and most lift developers serve their
applications through tomcat.
We would appreciate if support for comet is restored in the next release.
Regards,
Ikenna Darlington.
