Real time pushing

Question

Ten updates a second, what would be the best way to do that? Aside from WebSockets (not fully implemented) what can accomplish this?

Would creating a Java Applet be worth it? Can you interact with the DOM in that fashion?

Answer 1

First 10 updates a second does not imply 10 messgaes a second to the browser, you can piggy-back updates to send one message a second (say) - no point in updates faster than the eye can see.

Commetd/Bayeuax worked for me.

Answer 2

Agree with djina, 10 updates per second is a bit too much for a web app. Try the Lighstreamer. They have a free version and a demo one with bigger scalability and throughput. It supports multiple updates per second.
