Welcome to the CometD Project, a scalable comet (server push) implementation for the web.
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
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>
Bugs and requests for enhancements should be filed at http://bugs.cometd.org
If you have cloned the source release, follow the instructions at http://cometd.org/documentation/building, or just to
$ mvn install
To run load testing, open two windows. In the server window run:
$ cd cometd-java/cometd-java-examples
$ mvn -Pserver exec:exec
In the client window (potentially on another machine), run
$ cd cometd-java/cometd-java-examples
$ mvn -Pclient exec:exec
Then follow instructions on the console to generate load.
