Embrase the web, don't fight it

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 15:18:52 -0400

My guess is that this concept is doomed to fail because it flies in the face the inherent, inescapable architecture of the web, which is that of a client request, server response paradigm. We may not like it all the time, we may wish it acted more...

I didn't read the spec, however, does this approach work with client behind NAT/firewall?

Comet vs. Async HTTp

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:13:08 -0400

My current thoughts about comet are that if your server is doing Async HTTP, do you really need a COMET api? ...

That looks pretty cool, dead simple, would be good if JAX-RS supported something like this as part of the core API. Cooler still would be to allow (through another interface) the thread access to the response output stream so that it could...

asynch http in resteasy

I wrote an async http abstraction for JAX-RS in Resteasy...

Correct me if I'm wrong

I always thought the beauty of HTTP is this, open a connection, send the request, get the response and close the connection and pooof free up resources on both sides. If in this new paradigm the server is going to keep the connection open for an...

Re: Why are we wasting our time on this stuff?

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 09:05:07 -0400

But I really don't understand why we're desperately trying to retrofit an old technology to act like a complete desktop application. A retrofit process that is arguably poor at best. Large AJAX apps are useless over poor connections and...

Why are we wasting our time on this stuff?

I really fail to understand this stuff. Actually, that's not true. I fail to understand why we bother with things like the "Asynchronous web"....

Synchronicity through the request-response-paradigm is not that evil as one could think after reading the article. My experiences show that it can lead to a very clean and manageable programming paradigm where you have a good chance to handle the flow...

JSP and JSP are not good solutions.
