We are pleased to announce the <alt> Dynamic Mashup Server. Built to support internet scale amalgamation of web content, the Dynamic Mashup Server is the industry’s first Comet enabled mash-up server.

Implementing all of the major AJAX and Comet technologies such as XHR multipart, forever frame, XHR streaming, and forever script;  the Dynamic Mashup Server supports HTTP Streaming to desktop browsers as well as Safari on iPhone. Single-site browsers (SSB) such as Mozilla's Prism  and widget platforms such as Opera Widgets, Microsoft Vista Sidebar Gadgets, and Mac OS X Dashboard are also supported clients.

Comet services are provided through a custom version of Sun's Grizzly web server technology.

Other cool features of the Dynamic Mashup Server include RSS mash-up feed generation and text-to-speech output to support visually impaired user access.

Implemented to run on 64-bit Java Virtual Machines, the Dynamic Mashup Server integrates into our virtual Web 2.0 containers which provide isolated access and execution of remote web content ensuring that mash-up clients are protected from potentially harmful HTML and JavaScript. Mash-up isolation is also necessary to avoid XSS attacks.

The perfect companion to our Web 2.0 developer tools, the Dynamic Mashup Server supports mash-up RDF meta models which provide a realistic implementation of the semantic web.

The <alt> Dynamic Mashup Server will be available in Q2 of this year.
