I'd like to know whether it's possible to have Javascript & AJAX observers with Seam Remoting.

So let me illustrate this with an example:

• In the backend, something's changed and an asynchronous event is fired


• An observer on a @Webremote method gets triggered and handles this change

So in code:

@Name("myBean")
public class MyBean {

   public void foo() {
      //do something
      Events.instance().raiseAsynchronousEvent("something.changed");
   }
}


@Name("remotingBean")
public class RemotingBean {
   
   @Webremote
   @Observer("something.changed")
   public Object getResult() {
       Object result = //get the result
       return result;
   }
}

JS code:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
   Seam.Component.getInstance("remotingBean").getResult(function(result) {
        //show the result in your page
   });
})

Now the question is whether the JS code gets executed each time the event is fired.

Is this possible ? -So you update something in the backend and the result is directly shown in the frontend without the need for polling, thus real event driven.
