  • Abstract
    The article discusses how to build a multiuser, realtime chat application in Lift and discuss Scala´s language features that make Lift possible. The application provides a single chat server that takes chat messages and redistributes the messages out to all listeners. Lift´s Comet implementation uses a single HTTP connection to poll for changes to an arbitrary number of components on the page.
