[jboss-user] [JBoss Web Services] - How to implement long polling/server push with JBoss

laures [http://community.jboss.org/people/laures] created the discussion "How to implement long polling/server push with JBoss" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/567706#567706 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, i want to use http server push / long polling / whatever its called right now, in my next webservice. one way (a very bad, non scaling way) to do that is like this: @WebService(serviceName="mywebservice") @Stateless public class MyWebService {     @WebMethod     public String longPoll() {          short ct = 0;          while(someCondition == false && ct < 60) {              sleep(1000);  // 1 sec              ct++;          }          if (someCondition)              return "got value";          else              return "";     } } As i said, this dowsn't scale, but should demonstrate what i want to do. I've been looking for an alternative way and found two interesting things: * i can create an asyncronous response with servlets: http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/1.0.2.GA/userguide/html/Asynchronous_... http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/1.0.2.GA/userguide/html/Asynchronous_... but i would like to use stateless session beans for my webservice (its so nice and simple....) * Somebody pointed me at the APR Connector for jboss and mentioned it could do what i want. unfortuantely i couldn't find any examples for apr, so i don't know if thats correct (and if it is, how it would be done) I hope you can point me in the right direction. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/567706#567706] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
