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 The 8 methods of the ED proposal that were rejected as being too complex and confusing have been replaced by 20 methods and 3 new interfaces!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.

First off, I think I like wicket, its a pretty neat framework and it has some pretty solid integration with ajax which is interesting. I have to say though that having spent a lot of time on the whole long polling, ajax push, cometd type of communication approach the whole idea of ajax polling back to a server for a bit of content seems kinda quaint.

Scalable BlazeDS with async Jetty
Valery Silaev has pointed me to an article on flex.sys-con.com that demonstrates how the asynchronous features of Jetty have been used by Farata Systems to achieve some excellent scalability results with BlazeDS.
BlazeDS is an open source server side that provides comet style streaming events to a flex/flash client side (not strictly comet as it is not strictly ajax).

Safari Caching and Embedding Jetty
What was recently noticed was that with Safari (at least version 3.1.2 (5525.20.1)) the Last-Modified: header was not enough to achieve even minimal caching. With Firefox simply returning the Last-Modified: header would cache static content for a while but not so with Safari _if_ the Date: header was missing. So...the Date: header appears to be a required header for Safari to use the Last-Modified: header for basic static content caching.

Well, the blog seems to have moved to its new site successfully so its time to start adding some more entries up now and then. First and foremost I want to extend an invitation to users of jetty to meet up with me at the 2008 ApacheCon in New Orleans in a couple of weeks.
