To run the demonstration with Maven: $ cd cometd-demo $ mvn jetty:run then point your browser at http://localhost:8080 Alternately you can deploy the CometD demo war into any servlet 2.5 or 3.0 server (eg jetty, tomcat, glassfish) with commands like $ cp cometd-demo/target/cometd-demo/target/cometd-demo-*.war $MY_SERVER/webapps/cometd.war cd $MY_SERVER BUILDING COMETD If you have checked out the source release, follow the instructions at http://cometd.org/documentation/building, or just to $ mvn install LOAD TESTING To run load testing, open two windows. In the server window run: $ cd cometd-java/cometd-java-client $ mvn -Pserver exec:exec In the client window (potentially on another machine), run $ cd cometd-java/cometd-java-client $ mvn -Pclient exec:java Then answer the questions (defaults gives a reasonable result) to generate load. Keep running batches until the reported JIT time is zero before considering the actual results obtained.
