Hi there, back in the old days I used to use GWT alot in conjunction with Tapestry. Nowadays it would be fine to develop using JS at the Client side and I want to use Tapestry at the backend.
I would love to use something like socket.IO directly within the JS-client-code so I investigated the Atmosphere (github) package. Saidly there is no direct implementation nor support for the Tapestry world. And it looks like I would loose a whole weekend trying without a guarantee that I come up with something good. Currently implementing Atmosphere I would go for a HttpServletRequestHandler, warp the Tapestry servlet or even alter it directly (so I can use the default Atmosphere servlet based on the accessed page and so on. The way I used to implement GWT by creating a Page writing http directly using a MarkupWriter seams not to be that feasable since Atmosphere has a bunch of things to do, I dont understand right now. So I would love to know what is the current preferred way to use something like the socket.io lib in conjunction with Tapestry as the serving backend? Thanks for reading, Martin (Kersten), Germany
