I have been reading the above topics for several days, and now utterly 
confused.

I am trying to to put a  server program for char room feature on my web 
site. To make the server program more efficient I am thinking of using 
sockets.

For the client end, I would to use socket if I can (otherwise AJAX).

At the server end, PHP or java daemon.

My questions:

1.
a) For the front end, can I use java servlet ? I understand that websocket 
is not generally supported.
b) Is java servlet supported by browsers generally ?

2.
I discover that there are comet, long polling, websocket. I am very confused 
now.

Can some experts discuss somewhat of all these options ?

Thanks.
