The Asynchronous Web

In this interview with Artima, ICEsoft's Stephen Maryka describes a potentially transforming sort of asynchronicity where updates are pushed to the client without the user having to request those updates.
http://www.artima.com/lejava/articles/javaone_2008_stephen_maryka.html What do you think of Maryka's description of the asynchronous Web? |

I think that "server push" functionality in asynchronous web will play a major role as far as user experience is concerned. But I also think, to scale server push to millions of users, the application servers need to provide support for continuations. http://abeginner.blogspot.com/2008/05/comet-style-requests-and-continuations.html

... the word async seems not very appropriate.
It's simply duplex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_(telecommunications) |
