Re: [appengine-java] Re: Channel API still not live...

I'm not sure about that. It's my understanding that the Channel API depends
on generated Javascript, so if you can interpret that, why not? I haven't
looked much into how comet is being implemented in the Channel API - I know
there's a long-polling implementation as a fallback. Using a non-browser
client would be an undocumented use case, but I don't see why it couldn't be
done.

When you have a mobile client or a Java client, can't you use XMPP?

 Thanks for the answer Ikai. I have another question which perhaps is a
 bit off topic but I hope You will answer nevertheless. Will it be
 possible to use the Channel API on Java clients (like Android) and not
 only from within browsers? It would be awesome.

 Thanks again.

  Don't let this feature block you if your application needs it. Build it

I'm waiting, too.
 
Right now, we pull status every 5 minutes, but that's not the best
way.
Other APIs like Pushlet don't work on appengine.
