David, thanks for the explanation! Let me explain my use case in more depth. Maybe another solution would be suitable that I don't see.
I use the comet actor to display a list of files which is sent by an actor object monitoring a directory in turn. This is done via comet because changes of the monitored directory can happen frequently and it's not suitable for the user to reload the page to look for new files having arrived. Each file should be displayed as a link so you can click on it to get some detailed information. Another approach, which seems not so elegant to me, would be to render links that take the file's name or some sort of file id as a parameter, so that the snippet can resolve it to the file again. - Chris On 29 Jan., 21:40, David Pollak <[email protected]> wrote: > CometActors do not have a request context and thus do not support request > vars.
