Have you looked at JMS? -----Original Message----- From: Tony Jeffery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 6:42 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Server Event Notification To Clients
Hi all, Can anyone tell me the best way of implementing an event callback from the server to the client, similar to Java RMI callbacks, so that I can notify clients of server events? Would this mean a small SOAP server in the client or is there some other way or am I asking the impossible? I don't want to have to resort to polling the server for updates. Also if this is possible how feasible would it be with many thousands of users connected concurrently to the server/s and notifing them all this way? Any ideas would be very much appreciated. many thanks in advance Tony Jeffery
