Does HornetQ REST implementation use nio for poll on wait

[kristjan273]

Reading HornetQ REST documentation (http://docs.jboss.org/hornetq/2.2.5.Final/rest-interface-manual/html_single/#d0e830) I see the ability to instruct server with 'Accept-Wait' to hold the pull for several seconds.

My first question is if this 'wait' internally is non-blocking io (as described in netty project for nio) or not.

Second question would be - does hornetQ provide its own connector for those HTTP requests or it is needed to couple some external provider (jbossweb?).

Third question is if some of you great guys on this excelent project have already evaluated the needed effort to introduce comet styled interface with this REST polling (if you see it aplicable) - maybe related to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HORNETQ-128

Thank you very much in advance,

Ok, second answered -

HornetQ's REST interface is installed as a Web archive (WAR). It depends on the RESTEasy project and can currently only run within a servlet container.

And first question partially answered (looking into Resteasy docs - http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/2.2.1.GA/userguide/html_single/index.html#Asynch_HTTP_Servlet3http://). I would still like to hear some clarification on this. Does REST interface use Netty or is this some other code(to me it looks like some specific code - org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.HttpServlet30Dispatcher)? Does this specific implementation provides nio? Was this functionality tested with latest HornetQ release?

tnx in advance & brg
