We used BlazeDS's publish/subscribe feature to implement server-side PUSH. However, we found it didn't work well with NIO, CPU wasn't stable, What's even worse, CPU will constanly be 99.9%. The system worked well with APR.
We're looking into NIO-related code in tomcat's latest codebase. Anybody know the future of tomcat's NIO? We know there is an existing NIO framework(called MINA) in Apache, will tomcat reuse it?
