There's a common misconception among many end users, consumers, and developers that AJAX is the ultimate solution for the Web, and that it can provide all the same functionality as a rich desktop solution. Sure, AJAX can mimic the functionality provided by a desktop application, but there's still one area that has yet to be fully integrated: scalable, server-initiated message delivery and client-side storage. Comet Request processing is an advanced technique to enable real-time messaging from a Web server to one or more browsers, databases and services. This session will highlight how a 100% Java database system such as Apache Derby can play an important role in enabling "offline" and "real-time" rich Internet applications (RIAs) by extending a Grizzly Comet-enabled application such as the browser with secure and elegant storage capability. Mixing Comet Request Processing and Apache Derby allow the creation of a real-time RIA application.

Before joining Sun, he worked as a software architect for compagnies such as France Telecom, Microcell Telecom and HMS Software, in both Java and C++. Jean-Francois lives and works from home in Prevost, a very small city in Quebec where life is perfect.
