Wow yes this is quite nice. Would you be interested to blog about it? If
you can, could you write a simple html page that explain what you did
and I will expose it on the grizzly.dev.java.net and make noise about it.
This is *quite* useful!

>> Ohhh man, your lucky , I've just spent about a week dealing with some of the streaming issues with Client side JS :). I hope I can save you some time and a few mild strokes :). I'm gonna forward this to the mailing list so I can get some input, maybe even start a muse or someone that's been there can enlighten me.. Below is what I found and the conclusion that I've come to. The problems with streaming lie in the twisted heap of wires know as Cross Browser JS.
>>
>> 1. if your using FF and you try to modify the document object while a stream is open it will terminate the connection. Don't use document.write() .. this took me about 1 full day to figure out and it was REALLY frustrating (All JS is frustrating as debuging is so cryptic). I believe this is a bug in FF. I have found a few in IE as well.
>>
>> 2. I use Prototype, as it simply rocks :). seriously though, its indispensable for coding larger client side segments in JS. I don't use Jmaki, but I think that's where your problems are.. I'm sure it has a wrapper for the XMLHttpRequest object and it was not intended to handle streaming. actually XMLHttpRequest is intended to handle streaming but MS imlementations of it fail to do so. Anyway about prototype, I had to modify it a bit to deal with the streaming comet, and really at the end of the day you might as well write your own implementation of XMLHttpRequest as the onInteractive ( if(readyState==3) ) method of the Ajax "Class" has NO abort(); method...
>>
>> 3. Streaming is troublesome, since IE wont let you read the object until readyState=4 , so essentialy, what you have to do is... either use some iframe voodoo ( which shows the spinner, i personaly feel thats unacceptable) or use a technique that, does a dissconnect/reconnect after every push. in your onEvent(CometEvent e)... add this after the flush(), <CometContext>.removeCometHandler(this); . Then, in your client specify a reconnect after every response is recived you will reconnect and wait for the next push... There are other solutions, and Im exploring them as I type this.. such as using a flash applet or Java applet for client/server communications.
>>
>> The Flash Applet method has problems (flaky actually with v9) and the Java applet method works great but would require more users to download a plugin... So im working on a mesh of systems that will detect, install and try the various "Drivers" ( my silly term :) ) for the clients. ie6 is still 24% of the market so it has to be addressed. anyway, I look forward to uploading my work in this area shortly.
>>
>> P.S.
>> Im having little luck with any JS methods + IE6 regaurdless but i'm under Linux / Wine , so .. who knows whats going on :) If you come up with any cool ideas feel free to share.

>> Remember me, I壇 like to peak your brain for a moment. I am seeing a set of peculiar behaviors with my simple comet web app. I am using a jMaki client that makes a async call to my comet servlet. 1) I noticed that unless I call close on the connection the data does not get flushed out to the client. Calling flush appears not to have the desired effect. 2) It appears that the connection cannot be held open regardless of what the server does.
