For things besides chat, Comet sounds simpler than XMPP.
I'm planning a project management project with a whiteboard, this article is going to save me the time I was going to spend trying to make a chat server act like things it's not.

- nir 17y agoAFAIK Comet's not really an XMPP alternative, rather XMPP works (usually) on top of a Comet implementation. BTW I posted a little Chat over Comet intro with some code, perhaps it might interest some: http://niryariv.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/the-long-poll-implementing-ajax-chat-with-comet/ http://niryariv.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/the-long-poll-imple...
- rwolf 17y agoYou could be right; wiki describes XMPP (BOSH) as an alternative (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)#Alternatives http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)#Alternative...).
- jawngee 17y agoFWIW, YMMV, IANAL but I found STOMP over comet to be far easier to implement that XMPP.
