Java或C＃中长轮询/ Comet的最佳选择？

Question

Which native server is best, in your opinion, to implement long-polling / Comet ? The first target application is chat, but there will be other implementations - we basically need push-to-client capabilities.

I'm limiting the answers to C# or Java because these two technologies are dominant at my workplace. The requirements are as usual: performance, ease of deployment/programming, customization, ...

Answer 1

IIS + WebSync is a very straight-forward, scalable and extensible solution for server push. There is a free Community edition I highly recommend checking out.

Answer 2

Both Java and .NET platforms have enough capabilities to handle your needs. If you choose Java : You may start with DWR otherwise, on the .net side PokeIn library should be the choice.

Answer 3

I just saw this blogpost from Scott Hanselman yesterday. It looks very promising.

http://www.hanselman.com/blog/AsynchronousScalableWebApplicationsWithRealtimePersistentLongrunningConnectionsWithSignalR.aspx

It features an opensource product called SignalR which is available through nuget.

You can find an example chat application in the sources @ github

Answer 4

Try netty-socketio project. It's a Java framework with long-pooling and websocket support using famous Socket.IO protocol.

Answer 5

我不认为这方面有重大差异。

Answer 6

I know that special attention was paid to Comet support in the Grizzly engine used by Glassfish. It wasn't treated as an afterthought.
