The W3C has developed the Websocket API proposal for HTML5, that enables web pages to perform two-way communication with a remote host. There is also a proposed IETF draft websocket protocol to transport the websocket messages.
I believe that there are significant deficiencies in the proposed websocket protocol and this blog looks at how they can be rectified.

Servlet 3.0 Proposed "Final" Draft
I previously strongly criticised the Servlet 3.0 JSR-315 process and the resulting Public Review Draft, describing it as a: "poor document and the product of a discordant expert group (EG) working within a flawed process" and of producing a "Frankenstein monster, cobbled together from eviscerated good ideas and misguided best intentions".
... I'd like to focus on the improved spirit of the group and highlight some of the technical achievements that have resulted.

Servlet 3.0 Public Review : Update
I have been working on an implementation of the Servlet-3.0 asynchronous servlets with some the fixes/extensions I suggested in my previous blog and from some continuing discussion within the EG. This implementation demonstrates that significant asynchronous behaviour can be implemented without the complexities of redispatching wrapped requests or the forward(path) methods.[Read More]

JSR-315 has produced a Public Review (PR) of the servlet 3.0 specification, which unfortunately is a poor document and the product of a discordant expert group (EG) working within a flawed process.[...] Significant effort has been put into the PR proposal [...] but unfortunately it has become a Frankenstein monster, cobbled together from eviscerated good ideas and misguided best intentions. The 8 methods of the ED proposal that were rejected as being too complex and confusing have been replaced by 20 methods and 3 new interfaces! [...] The EG is desperately in need of community feedback and probably another round of Public Review after a beta RI is made available.

Asynchronous Restful Webapplication
This blog annotates the Jetty 7 example web application that uses Jetty asynchronous HTTP client and the proposed suspendable servlets 3.0 API, to call an eBay restful web service. The technique combines the Jetty asynchronous HTTP client with the Jetty servers ability to suspend servlet processing, so that threads are not held while waiting for rest responses. Thus threads can handle many more requests and web applications using this technique should obtain at least ten fold increases in performance.[Read More]

Bad Robot! Google Android is evil
Webtide has been putting some effort into porting Jetty onto Google's Android mobile phone platform. We were seduced to expend this effort by the promise from Google that android would provide "a new level of openness". Yet we may be forced to abandon this effort as Google's bad robot breaks Asimovs 3 laws of Robotics as they have been modified for openness by the the eclipse foundation.[Read More]
