How about this:
When the Servlet is executed, it runs an Ant build script (it could even
call Ant's engine directly from Java code without needing to start another
JVM). The output of the build could be the response back to the browser.
You could add an GET argument such that the servlet would also output a meta
refresh HTML tag with the seconds as the value.
Something like:
http://www.server.com/foo/servlet/antExecute?refresh=10
Someone want to take this on...pretty PLEASE with sugar on top?
