Hi,
I am very new to scala/lift but I must say that I am very impressed by the ajax/comet capabilities built-in. It does make web developers' life easy. I am playing around with CometActor and other things and looking at how the javascript is generated and sent back to the browser. I also noted the the "cometAjax.js" dead-simple implementation. I have questions about this setup:
- Is this "comet" server compatible with the bayeux protocol? It seems to me that it's not and that what lift calls comet is just ajax + long-polling.
- How could I get a non-browser client use the /comet_request/XX/sessionid requests? I am thinking about a java client (Android app). I guess I would need to override a bunch of stuff generating the response but I'm a little lost here.
I am trying to have a comet enabled website AND mobile apps using the comet capabilities.
Cheers,
Maxime
