GAE CHANNEL EVENT
The Channel API creates a persistent connection between your application and Google servers, allowing your application to send messages to JavaScript clients in real time without the use of polling. This is useful for applications that are designed to update the user about new information immediately or where user input is immediately broadcast to other users. Some examples include collaborative applications, multi-player games, and chat rooms. In general, using Channel API is a better choice than polling in situations where updates can't be predicted or scripted, such as when relaying information between human users or from events not generated systematically.

h2. Introduction
First of all, you should read and be familiar with how to use the App Engine Channel API [java|http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/channel/overview.html] on the server-side.

This library simply wraps the client-side JavaScript with GWT bindings to make it accessible in a GWT application, and it doesn't manage telling your client the client ID it should use. That part's up to you, and is described in the documentation for the Channel API.
