java cometd,Java客户端订阅cometd频道

Our application that will act as a client needs to subscribe to an external system that uses cometd to deliver unsolicited notifications to clients. Is there a way to achieve this without cometd libraries (via apache HttpClient for instance)? Java version mismatch is the problem - we use 1.6, but cometd require 1.7 or higher.

thanks in advance

CometD 2.x, albeit not under development anymore, supports back to JDK 5.

The underlying protocol (Bayeux) is the same, so I expect a CometD 2.x client to work against a CometD 3.x server.

The alternative is for you to reimplement the Bayeux protocol from scratch, which is not that difficult but it does require a bit of work.
