What type of support do you want?

Comet support using Jersey is being defined in the Atmosphere project:

   http://atmosphere.dev.java.net

Or do you require something a little simpler than comet that suspends
a request until some work is complete to return the response? the
latter is not currently supported in Jersey but it is something we can
work on, and probably should reside in the Atmosphere project as well
(to take advantage of the abstract suspend support across containers)
and is probably quite simple to enable (when the Atmosphere expert
returns back from holiday :-) ).

There are also some improvements to the client side we can make for
supporting async. requests (currently only Future is supported) via
callbacks. More on this in a bit.

There are two samples using Glassfish and Grizzly:
