Cometd services on top of Tomcat 6 and Jetty Continuations

Cometd Continuations Example

This is a working cometd example tested on Tomcat v6.0. It uses the Jetty Continuations filter, so it doesn´t require the Advanced NIO Connector or a servlet 3.0 environment.

Dependencies are listed on the pom.xml file.

Other approaches

Most of the documentation about realtime websockets (and fallbacks) depend on a servlet-3.0 context.

WebSockets with Embedding Jetty http://angelozerr.wordpress.com/2011/07/26/websockets_jetty_step4/ has a working implementation with some caveats.
