Chat Example
Welcome to the Ajax chat example
    This Chat example creates an ActiveMQ broker using the configuration
    information found in the web.xml file. There isn't much there.
    Just a name-value parameter named org.apache.activemq.brokerURL
    is assigned a value of vm://localhost?broker.persistent=false.
    This is enough however to lazy-initialize the broker when it is needed.
    The client leverages a javascript library amq.js to perform all
    of the JMS-related client side code. This involves establishing a
    communication pipeline to the JMS server. This pipeline uses a long-poll
    connection to the server. All JMS communication will be received down this
    pipe, and when the JMS server has no traffic to send, this pipeline will
    patiently wait until there is new traffic or until it times out. If a
    timeout does occur, the connection will reconnect to the server for another
    round. (Of course you will want/need to use a server that supports
    continuations in order for this to scale beyond a few hundred clients.)
    The chat.js file contains the script to respond to the UI
    interactions. It also talks to the amq.js file to send messages
    and provides a message handler that will respond to incoming JMS messages.
    There is no server-side state in this application. The client sets up a JMS
    Topic on the server and attaches itself as a listener to this topic. From
    that point, all messages that are sent to the topic are received by each
    listener. Even the list of members in the chat room are the result of
    clients replying to a ping request.
    Please note that amq.js has been refactored to allow AJAX calls
    to be made using any javascript library. Example adapter classes for jQuery
    and Prototype have been provided.
