It is a great project, with significant capabilities and any Flex developer needs to have a deep understanding of it if they are going to make a dent in this industry.

Streaming HTTP in my opinion is just fancy trickery and doesn't replace a real-time socket connection for data pushing. Earlier I mentioned that it doesn't matter how many times you goto your mailbox, you are still polling for mail, even if you linger around for 5 minutes each time you go. ;-) HTTPS connectivity limitations do not allow for a full-time stateful socket connection.

I have only been working with BlazeDS for a few days, but in monitoring the behavior of this channel, it appears to only communicate with a Flex client at the point it has something to send to the client. It specifically doesn't support any sort of client polling mechanism. In what way does this not meet the "definition of push technology" ?
