>From my point of view, socket.io java library is used as a fallback when websocket is not supported by the browser or it's not available because of proxies/firewalls block it, something very common unfortunately (see WaveWebSocketClient.java line 111). Also from my perception, saving issues are caused also because of our file persistence implementation (I'm using websocket in my browsers, and I'm suffering saving issues also from time to time). Returning to websocket, I did several efforts to try to find an alternative to that socket.io gwt lib, and IMHO, the more interesting lib is atmosphere. https://github.com/Atmosphere/atmosphere https://github.com/Atmosphere/atmosphere/wiki/Getting-Started-with-the-samples Also as a possibility to remove our jetty dependency in the server side and try to run wave in other servlet containers. But I don't find a easy way to integrate atmosphere with our server websocket, guice and auth code, but I'm keep studying it and trying it. Meanwhile, I'm doing a little maintenance over this socket.io java fork: https://github.com/vjrj/Socket.IO-Java/commits/master the last commit it's needed to run wave with gwt superdev mode, something I'm working in.
