Hey all,

I'm trying to build an app that takes advantage of the Comet support in
Lift. This is a simple app that displays all messages from a given person
and shows new messages as they are added. At first, I struggled with trying
to pull the request parameter (the url looks like this - /person/1) into my
CometActor, and then I found a message on the lift board that talked about
the scope mismatch between the request scope and a CometActor, and
recommends setting a session variable that the CometActor then reads.

The scope mismatch makes sense to me, so I tried the suggested way of doing
it, which worked. However, now when I go back to the home page and select
another person to view messages for, I still see the the old messages. After
some testing, it appears that CometActors on the same page are not
re-created if there is one already active. I can't seem to find any method
that gets called on it when the page is rendered either, and I am not sure
how to update the state of the CometActor so that it retrieves the proper
messages.

Is there any documentation or examples for using CometActors in conjunction
with a request parameter like that? Or is there a better way altogether for
me to be doing this?

Thank you,

- Spencer
