How to implement Comet Http Streaming using RestEasy

[elangovans]

Hi all, We have developed a lot of services using RestEasy. Now, I needed to extend some our services to implement Comet style Http responses based on events in the server. Is Comet or Suspended Response supported in RestEasy?

My environment is,

Jboss AS7

Resteasy 2.2.2 GA.

APR natvie

Appreciate if anyone could point me to some samples.

Thanks

If all you need is Suspended Response support, you can get that in 2.2 and 2.3:

For 2.3:

http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/2.3.0.GA/userguide/html_single/index.html#Asynchronous_HTTP_Request_Processing

For 2.2:

http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/2.2.1.GA/userguide/html_single/#Asynchronous_HTTP_Request_Processing

To get Comet Topic support, you'll probably have to implement using JGroups. To the best of my knowledge, there is no Atmosphere-style @Broadcast support yet.
