[Seaside] Comet and #call:

[andres]

Hi Julian, thanks for the response. I tried working with "self session 
returnResponse:" but the problem remains since the response I send 
replaces the whole page. I guess that if that behaviour is wired in the 
render loop I would need to go deeper and somehow change the way 
callbacks are handled. I am thinking two alternatives here:

1. Create a new call mechanism that somehow cancels the response, so 
that the web client stays unaltered (is this possible?). Then push the 
page via comet to update the required id. The question here is: can I 
cancel the response but let the continuation keep its flow?

2. Use an ajax update, which works ok from the rendering point of view 
and emulate the continuation flow. Can this be done? Is something in 
Seaside as "forking" a new continuation (like a child process)?

Also, could you recommend any readings on seaside internals to 
understand how the control loop works? Again, any hints are much 
appreciated!

Best regards,
         Andrés
