In Flash, I could create an async socket. Which is very useful because it allows server pushing data asynchronously (i.e. on the events of new data is available or changes in data) to the client without the client's constant initiative.
Does GWT have a means to create async sockets? Actually, how would you create an browser-side async socket in javascript? I know of a way some people play cheat by polling. Using the browser's javascript, they create a so-called listener in which you declare the url you wish to listen to and the interval of polling. And on the listenee side, you have to install a message pusher that would listen for the browser's "listener" polling. I think that is cheating because the actual listener is the server not the browser, because the browser is initiating data transfer by polling and the server listens to the poll. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
