Reverse AJAX : LightStreamer v/s Direct Web Remoting

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out the best framework to perform AJAX push to a web application using Java EE 5 on WebLogic server.

I've reduced my alternatives to LightStreamer and Direct Web Remoting. But I would like to know what's the advantage of one on the other.

I would be grateful if I could have an insight from people having experience using those.

Thanks!

DWR is more of a RPC library while LightStreamer was actually designed for ajax push. DWR does work well for long polling as its simple to call your java methods from the javascript.
