This is a sample Java based web application which uses HTML 5 Server-sent events and supports IE 8+.

This sample application is based on

• Jetty EventSource Serlvet
• Yaffle's EventSource polyfill library

The sample project is built using Gradle, just use gradle jettyRun to start the Jetty server and point your browser to http://localhost:8080/sse/. In the page, you should see a red rectangle moving randomly in the page.

I published an article in IBM developerWorks China site about how to use Neo4j. If you can read Chinese, take a look at this article.
