Exactly ... In my case, I'm working on Restlet API support in Google Web Toolkit using XmlHttpRequest as the "Client". As this is idiomatically an asynchronous facility -- regardless of whether your response is short lived (AJAX style) or long lived (Comet style), the API needs ways of handling clients that behave asynchronously, which it presently lacks. Several interesting connectors like Jetty have also introduced neat new facilities driven by the desire to make the Comet style more manageable on the server side, so it's not just about the client side.
Have a look at this RFE and its references: http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=143 ... you guessed right, it started with an observation about the Comet style. - Rob On 2/5/08, jbarciela jbarciela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > When you say "callbacks", what do you have in mind?
