We have a web service running (ASP.NET) that receives data from an external provider. Once we receive the data, we have approx 120 seconds for any one of our customers to view and respond to the data (it's a request for service, if our customers don't answer within the time limit, the external provider passes the call on to another source). Right now, I'm handling this by having our customer's web page auto-refresh every 40 seconds. This isn't good enough - we need some way to immediately notify the web client the momemt a new request arrives in our system. How can we do this?
So far, I'm looking into using Java with JXTA (a connection standard that helps overcome NAT and firewall issues) but would like to stick with .NET technology if possible. Any suggestions?
