What is Cometd?
Cometd is a scalable HTTP-based event routing bus that uses a push technology pattern known as Comet. The term 'Comet' was coined by Alex Russell in his post 'Comet: Low Latency Data for the Browser'. The letter d is for 'Daemon', as described by Answers.com, Daemon is a program or process that sits idly in the background until it is invoked to perform its task. Cometd consists of a protocol spec called Bayeux, JavaScript libraries (dojo toolkit), and an event server.
