by Dylan SchiemannJune 2nd, 2008
The proliferation of Comet projects continues to grow. In addition to the many products already mentioned previously at Comet Daily, a quick search of Google Code shows the following initiatives of varying quality and completeness:
- aexo is a research project providing infrastructure for activity-based-computing in pervasive environments
- cometbox is a C# Comet implementation
- FlexComet provides a Bayeux implementation for Flex developers
- liftweb is scala-based web development framework that borrows Erlyweb’s scalability for Comet-style applications
- msgbus provides a lightweight, evented HTTP/HTTPS PubSub message bus
- rocket-gwt includes a Comet implementation for GWT
- rupy, a 50KB Java NIO HTTP server, includes Comet support
- Seaside is a smalltalk development framework
- sprocket is a Perl Networking Framework
- SymbolicWeb provides a Common Lisp GUI using AJAX and Comet
- webchat2 is a chat app with a PHP server implementation

Is there better way for asking for simple comet application list chat server with plain tomcat 6.0?
I’m unable to run a sample application coming with tomcat, and its hard to identify which way is right when lots of projects are poping up…
People talks about how simple it is, but only new comers know how hard it is just get a “hello world” app…

@tony: I’d recommend taking a look at our Comet Maturity Guide, or at our list of Comet Quick Start guides for more information. Java developers often choose Jetty or Lightstreamer or GlassFish instead of Tomcat for Comet.
