Hi All,
I am trying to implement a pushlet model using servlet and I am faced with many technical difficulties to have a scalable
reliable pushlet mechanism which will do event notification to my client Applet.
My questions,
1) My Pushlet design needs a active/persistent HTTP connection through which we can have a callback
mechanism. HTTP1.1 has accomodated persistent connections , but is there any default time-out period after which the
server (weblogic6.1) drops the HTTP connection in case of client being idle for sometime ??
2)If there is timeout option should I do a ping on to server in regular intervals so as to keep the HTTP connection alive with the server. I dont want to do polling , so is there any way I can know the default HTTP time-out option of the server so
that I can do a ping within that interval to keep Connection alive.
3) I cannot use plain persistent Sockets (TCP/IP) because of firewall between client and server ,
Is there anyway I can keep my HTTP-Connection alive with server avoiding the default HTTP-Timeout taking into consideration that
webserver supports HTTP1.1
Any information on these will be of great help and will be appreciated..
thx
