Description

We now have a good WebSocket transport support. It would be good to get Server Sent Events (SSE) supported on top of it, I believe Atmosphere does support SSE.
SSE has been voted as one of the most interesting technologies in EE 8 plans and support for it will very likely be required in JAX-RS. Jersey leads the way with its SSE support already

The development is happening in `master-jaxrs-2.1` branch as SSE becomes a part of JAX-RS 2.1 specification (in SNAPSHOT stage right now).
Server-side support is already in operational state and is built on top of Atmosphere.

Example projects are available:

• samples/jax_rs/sse_cdi
• samples/jax_rs/sse_tomcat
• samples/jax_rs/sse_spring
