You probably want to look into the XMLSocket object.
This can make a connection back to a server and maintain it. A 0 byte
is sent between requests and response without the connection being
dropped. Those requests and responses are xml and could be used for
messaging or keep alives to avoid timeout issues. There are some good Java
examples out there on implementing this on the server end, not sure about other
platform implementations.

Subject: [flexcoders] Asynchronous notification
All,
We have, up until
now, used webservices to check for server-side notifications...we just poll (I
know, I hate polling!). We'd like to move to something more asynchronous,
but I thought I'd ask the forum for their recommendation.
I know there is some
kind of method in AS for making an HTTP request...we could have a servlet that
would accept that request, hold onto it until some data comes in, and then
finally respond to the request. Of course there are probably time-out
issues that would have to be side-stepped.
That's about the
only sol'n I can see being possible right now. I'm not very familiar with
RMI and Remote Objects, but can this technology be used asynchronously in
Flex?
Any thoughts would
be appreciated!
Thanks.
