Comet for Seaside using VisualWorks?
|
|
| enigmainorlando@aol.com 2006-08-14, 4:02 am |
| Been using Seaside to develop a web-based application. A poster
recently steered me to "Comet" for Seaside as a solution to my problem
of needing the server to update the client. After reading about it,
this is exactly what I need, and it looks great. Thing is, I've only
seen Comet for Seaside with Squeak, not anything else. Anyone know
whether this is available for VisualWorks or not?
Thanks

| Hello enigmainorlando,
Comet is as simple as holding on to the action request. Eg: an Ajax
request is sent to Squeak - your Smalltalk code waits on a semaphore.
Your other code signals the semaphore when it's ready to transmit
data. Your waiting code wakes up and sends the reply back to the
browser.

The last word I heard from Lukas was that Comet for Squeak is not
really there yet.
The best place to ask such questions is the Seaside mailinglist:
