Nope. You can construct data to be send in the time when you want to send the request. You need another class lets say RequestData who implement some interface for easy testing, and contain all data that you need to operate with. I will write a little all-in-one example with the server side and stuff. You can download here on this direct link: http://www.makpcworld.com/java/async-request-loader.rar
Browser is single thread just like Shawn say but that thread can sleep and continue to work when server send response ;) I hope this will help you.
