More about Java and webcontinuations - Jetty style

There have been some discussion some time ago about continuation model for the web, Java continuations etc. Some were against, some defended continuations, but on the other hand contrasted it with AJAX.

Actually, it seems that Jetty guys found another interesting use of continuations in the Java world. It's main usage is to decrease resource usage when handling AJAX requests, but can be also used for increasing quality of service for the servlet container.

I still did not analyze thing in the details, but it looks interesting. For sure, these are not true continuations as Java does not have them... But it seems to be surprisingly useful example, and also one showing that AJAX and continuations could somehow become friends. Some even believe that REST should joing the gang...
