Unable to specify extra paramters sent to comet servlet

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently in CometClient.start() there is code:

DOM.setElementProperty(frame, "src", this.getServiceEntryPoint() +
"?serializationEngine=Gwt&" + System.currentTimeMillis());

which always appends '?' after service entry point. This could be replaced
with:

String queryString = this.getServiceEntryPoint();
boolean questionMarkFound = false;
for(int i = 0; i < queryString.length(); i++){
    if(queryString.charAt(i) == '?'){
        questionMarkFound = true;
    }
}   
DOM.setElementProperty(frame, "src", this.getServiceEntryPoint() + (
questionMarkFound ? "&" : "?") + "serializationEngine=Gwt&" +
System.currentTimeMillis());

Then creating comet instance one can specify additional parameter sent to
comet servlet (like client id) - which may be read in polling method. This
is needed when implementing funcationality where different data is sent to
different clients.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
any OS, Rocket 0.56

I was actually thinking of removing the serializationEngine parameter so the 
problem
you describe doesnt exist... What do you think ?

Yes, this will solve the case.
