Server-sent events

[Ali E.İMREK]

Hi,

I'm searching documents and examples about "server-sent events" [1].
I've just found Mozilla example for js+php [2]. Can we use this
technology with GWT now? if not, when will be supported?

Thanks.

I guess Channel API in App Engine is what you are looking for.

Anything JS can do, GWT can do. It's just that it requires you to write JSNI if nobody did before you and packaged it in a library.

See, http://code.google.com/p/gwt-mobile-webkit/ was doing Web Storage and Geolocation long before they came to GWT proper: http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/storage/client/package-summary.html and http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/geolocation/client/package-summary.html
