The CometD Project
Welcome to the CometD Project, a scalable comet (server push) implementation for the web.
DIRECTORY LAYOUT
cometd-archetypes - The Maven2 archetypes for quick application development
cometd-demo - Demo of the Java server and of the Dojo/jQuery clients
cometd-java - The Java server and java client libraries
cometd-javascript - The JavaScript (Dojo/jQuery) client libraries
RUNNING THE COMETD DEMO
If you have downloaded the release bundle, then the CometD is already built for you. To run the demonstration with Maven, unzip the release bundle and execute:
$ cd cometd-demo
$ mvn jetty:run
then point your browser at http://localhost:8080
Alternately you can deploy the CometD demo war into any servlet 2.5 or 3.0 server (e.g. jetty, tomcat, glassfish) with commands like:
$ cp cometd-demo/target/cometd-demo/target/cometd-demo-*.war $MY_SERVER/webapps/cometd.war
cd $MY_SERVER
<command to run my server>
REPORTING BUGS
Bugs and requests for enhancements should be filed at http://bugs.cometd.org
BUILDING COMETD
If you have cloned the source release, follow the instructions at http://cometd.org/documentation/building, or just to
$ mvn install
LOAD TESTING COMETD
To run load testing, open two windows. In the server window run:
$ cd cometd-java/cometd-java-benchmark/cometd-java-benchmark-server/
$ mvn exec:exec
In the client window (potentially on another machine), run
$ cd cometd-java/cometd-java-benchmark/cometd-java-benchmark-client/
$ mvn exec:exec
Then follow instructions on the console to generate load.
