<div>As the mail subject says its so, im trying to implement a "long polling" feature in our application-in other words something that "comet" apps try to achieve.Clients that keep polling the server periodically could affect the way you
scale.So you need a way a to scale and also achieve real time server updates to the client at the same time.</div>
<div>So basically I need a server that will handle Long polling,support of thousands of connections/machine,and load balance the connections to the actual app server where the business logic.</div>
<div>And ofcourse as i mentioned, it should be easy to integrate this functionality to our existing app server which runs in java.</div>
<div>Other apps Im evaluating are Jetty6.0 which is I guess is in alpha yet.</div>
<div>Hope that shows my requirements better?</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
