So here goes
Keep in mind the chat is multi-threaded: where the messages are
retrieved and refreshed in a background thread; while the user may be
typing in a foreground thread.
// sets up a thin array object named message
var messages = new ThinArray();
// creates a DefaultHandler that specifies the messages object as
the target of the (to be issued) ws request
dh = new DefaultHandler("messages");
// invokes the ws passing lastid and chatroom, naming the dh handler
as the recipient
robject.getMessages(
lastid,
xmlformat(document.chatform.room.value),
dh.handle
);
It is more straight forward with single-thread synchronous processing
the DefaultHandler function is defined in gateway.js
the ThinArray is defined in collections.js
