Presentations

Ajax Comet Communications

Subtitle: The Bayeux protocol and standardization efforts from the Open Ajax Alliance.

Communication for Comet (or Ajax Push) remain a problematic issue for deploying scalable Ajax applications. This talk looks at two related efforts to deal with the many concerns of Ajax Comet communications. The Bayeux protocol from the Dojo foundation is multi channel event bus that spans client and server over a variety of Ajax transports. The protocol has multiple implementation and aims to become a defacto standard for Ajax push communications.

The Open Ajax Alliance is an industry organization formed to deal with the interoperability issues of Ajax. Through their communications task force, the alliance is investigating common API solutions that will allow the semantics of Ajax communications to be captured without mandating a protocol solution or preventing continuing innovation in Ajax transports, interoperability and browser support.
