Asynchronous HTTP support in Seam+RESTeasy
------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-3991
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3991
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: WS
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA
            Reporter: Balazs Pataki
             Fix For: 2.1.2.CR1


There should be support for handling asynchronous HTTP connections in a way similar to the plain RESTeasy solution:

http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/resteasy/freezone/docs/1.0.2.GA/userguide/html/Asynchronous_HTTP_Request_Processing.html

It actually seems very straightforward to implement it in Seam, the only problem is that there needs to be 3 different implementations for Tomcat6+JBoss 4.2.x, JBoss 5, and Servlet 3. At least, in RESTeasy it is implemented this way.

For me I took the Tomcat6+JBoss 4.2.x implementation of org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.Tomcat6CometDispatcherServlet and based on this I added "implements CometProcessor" to ResteasyDispatcher + copied the event() and createHttpRequest() methods over from Tomcat6CometDispatcherServlet . Then I also added ResteasyAsyncHttpRequest, which is a clone of org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.Tomcat6AsyncHttpRequest. With this setup plus adding the

<Connector port="8080" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
   emptySessionPath="true" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
   enableLookups="false" redirectPort="6443" acceptorThreadCount="2" pollerThreadCount="10"
/>

connector instead of the vanilla one to JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server.xml seem to make it all work form me.
