Seam Remoting Push ?

[samdoyle]

Is there any current mechanism provided to do this in Remoting? JSF has support for it via the a4j:push but I really need this in the Seam.Remoting functionality.

Thanks, S.D.

I did some reading somewhere that the Remoting solution is via subscribing to a JMS topic. How well does this approach work in a clustered environment? It would be nice to have a push capability that didn't rely on or require JMS.

Anyone ?

Seam Remoting only provides this kind of functionality out of the box as a JMS topic subscription. If you don't want to use JMS, you can alternatively just write some client-side javascript to poll every x seconds. Look at the javascript code in the remoting script (remote.js) for an example.

Thanks Shane for the clarification. I'm aware of the polling alternative which is what we have in place now. We have a lot of data that can potentially get updated but not always updated which is the reason we are looking at pushing. We are hoping that a push based approach will help cut some cycles out and make client side performance better.
