I have been thinking about connector refactoring for Tomcat 9. Currently BIO is planned to be dropped due to the number of features in the servlet spec that rely on non-blocking IO.
I would like to propose dropping support for Comet in Tomcat 9 onwards. The reasons are: - WebSocket 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 Thoughts? Keep in mind that 8.0.x isn't stable yet and any 9.0.x is likely to be several years away.
