1.  class AsyncRenderComet extends MessageCometActor

   AsyncRenderComet facilitates rendering anything that produces a JsCmd independently from a page request.

   AsyncRenderComet facilitates rendering anything that produces a JsCmd independently from a page request. All you have to do is create one and send it a Compute message with the function that will produce the JsCmd. AsyncRenderComet will take ownership of the function and run it in a separate thread comet context, sending the results down using a partialUpdate when it is done.

   Note that if you want to run a function that requires the context of the request you're running in, you'll want to use LiftSession's buildDeferredFunction method to make sure that when the function is executed in a separate thread, it will retain request context.

   In general, consider using one of:

   • AsyncRenderComet.asyncRender.
   • The lazy snippet.
   • The CanBind implicits in the net.liftweb.http package that allow using LAFuture and Scala Future objects as the right-hand-side of a CSS selector binding.

   None of these requires explicit use of buildDeferredFunction.
