There is a new "tempest" about Web Architecture these days. In Web 2.0 Communication Layer: from HTTP to Comet to Internet Messaging Bus http://www.coachwei.com/blog/_archives/2006/10/13/2414519.html We all know HTTP, the communication layer of Web 1.0. Recently, we also started to realize some of the limitations of HTTP. For example, HTTP is request/response only and does not support bi-directional communication. There are techniques to be employed for enabling bi-directional communications on top of HTTP. These techniques are being called as “comet”. However, comet addresses only a small part of the challenge. There are a lot of other challenges to be addressed in order for the web communications layer to work well. At Nexaweb, we took a fairly systematic look at this issue a few years ago and invented a set of techniques to address them. These techniques have been working out very well (A lot of customer applications having been depending on them, such as financial trading applications used by over 20000 traders). I call such a set of techniques “Internet Messaging Bus” (IMB). Some people started to reply with "Web 2.0 Communication Layer: from HTTP to Comet to Internet Mess" http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=42641
