Excellent talk, but what about the number of open connections on the servers? Isn't their a limitation on that? Hmmm long back I had written a article about Server Push using Blaze DS, in that article we had to explicitly specify the user-agent based settings as shown below:
<user-agent match-on="MSIE" kickstart-bytes="2048" max-streaming-connections-per-session="3"/>
<user-agent match-on="Firefox" kickstart-bytes="2048" max-streaming-connections-per-session="3"/>
Do we need to do something similar in DWR also? My previous experience was with DWR 1.0, it was great but had some browser specific behaviors (had some issues with Mozilla, use to work great on IE). Never got a chance to look in to DWR 2.x, I think I will directly try DWR 3.0, when is it expected to release?
Thanks,
Siva Prasanna.

I used to implement comet using WCF (Dublex) over HTTP in real time applicaiton
We face a lot of challenges in implmenting it but we succefully overcome them all and the idea is running perfectly now.
Sive,
we succfuly overcome the problem of this max-streaming-connections-per-session="3"
Now no limits in using comet
I'm preparing to post our idea soon
Thanks

I think general Comet use is on the rise again. Its the new Ajax, lots of people seem to be using it now. We're starting to implement Comet features in to our social networking site using StreamHub Comet server. Like DWR, we can use our existing Java skillset so it suited us. It will be interesting to see how Comet grows in the future.
