Integrating Orbited with Web App Frameworks

Adrian Weisberg on the “Orbited” blog wrote about Orbited integration with web frameworks. Orbited in its forthcoming 0.7 version will smoothly integrate with web frameworks using message queues.  In addition, the move from proprietary Orbit protocol to STOMP is a way forward, because it will allow a developers to leverage many standard STOMP tools and communication clients with Orbited. There are two possibilities:

• Use standalone message queues from the likes of ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ  
• Use the lightweight embedded STOMP message queue. The message queue is already released as a Twisted-based daemon called Morbid.

So implementing Reverse Ajax / Comet style push with web app frameworks like Django and Ruby-on-Rails becomes simple.
