public class Meteor
extends Object

A Meteor is a simple class that can be used from a Servlet to suspend, broadcast and resume a response. A Meteor can be created by invoking the build() method.

Meteor.build(HttpServletRequest).suspend(-1);

A Meteor is usually created when an application need to suspend a response. A Meteor instance can then be cached and re-used later for either broadcasting a message, or when an application needs to resume the suspended response.
