comet tomcat 6.0.14

[gabi munteanu <jg...@yahoo.com>]

i am giving my first shot at a simple echo comet servlet.
i have a simple webpage with a textarea in it, and a button.
when clicking on the button, i do an ajax request to a comet servlet and write its response on the onsuccess ajax event in the textarea.

on the server side i have a comet servlet and a thread.
the thread has access to the list of the HttpServletResponses, and iterates over it, and writes the message "hello", every 4 seconds.

all is ok, i see that i enter the begin event and the read event code.

the problem:
the write part gives no error, but the message doesn't reach the browser.
i do call flush on the servletoutputstream, but still nothing.

what i want is to call event.close() after i do response.getoutputstream().write("hello");
and then initiate in the javascript code another request. this way i ensure the message gets to the client.

but how can i get a reference to the event that corresponds to the httpservletresponse that i have ?
there is no httpservletresponse.getCometEvent or something ...

i also played with buffering, suspecting this is the responsible. but actually i don't really want to get the message to the client without closing the processing of that request.

thank you in advance
gabi
