Scott Wilson created WOOKIE-409:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Provide an improved method for providing server-side
messaging between widgets in Wookie
Key: WOOKIE-409
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-409
Project: Wookie
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Scott Wilson
Wookie currently uses DWR 2, a library that provides push notifications to
widgets using a comet-style HTTP protocol. This is used to implement Wookie's
version of the Google Wave Gadgets API, which supports collaborative widgets
such as chat tools and games.
However, we should explore other options to provide this functionality,
particularly those that offer better performance and added features. For
example, we may want to use WebRTC, Web Sockets, or XMPP instead of Comet, and
to use operational transform technologies such as Diff-Match-Patch to
streamline traffic.
Other options to consider include using Node.js with Wookie, and deploy
Wave-Node and/or ShareJS as backend services. This would however need to be
incorporated into the build and deploy process and work cross-platform.
Any solution should be capable of supporting the existing Wave API.
