Integrate Comet (Reverse Ajax) into Seam
----------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-3038
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3038
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Core, Remoting
         Environment: It is a feature request. Should need a Comet Javascript client on top of existing remoting API and Server side Seam Components to handle Comet Events 
            Reporter: Senthilkumar Muthusamy
            Priority: Critical

Comet is good programing technique where the server side changes will be pushed to the client without client asking for (pull). One of the Java Script libraries which has comet support implemented is Dojo. For more info about comet is at http://alex.dojotoolkit.org/?p=545. 
In the Server Side, Servlet Spec 3.0 also going to support comet programing model using HttpServletRequest/Response with 
suspend/resume etc method. Jetty has continuation api which does the same (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Continuation)
It is something different than JMS API exposed to clients like what Seam has. Since Seam is deep integration framework not only with JEE specs but also with good client side support thanks to remoting API. It is almost all the hard lifting done but need this enhancement for future web developments. It would be greater selling point for Seam too.

In other note, 
I am currently using comet model existing in Glassfish Application server (Grizzly) with Dojo and Seam. I extensively used Seam Eventing framework to notify server changes to Central Comet Seam Component which handles/integrates the Glassfish specific comet features.
