JavaZone 2011 - Comparing Asynchronous Web Techniques
The world is all about the asynchronous web these days. There are an increasing number of options for Java developers. In this presentation we'll cover 3 such options: comet, servlet 3, and websockets. We'll look at code and discuss pros and cons of each approach. We'll also cover any updates that come with Servlet 3.1 (which will likely still be a work in progress.) We'll look briefly at possible mitigation approaches when you find yourself bound to a particular approach. This session assumes at least a passing familiarity with the concepts as there won't be too much time to deep dive into each approach.
