agreed.. I would definitely try that solution first also you may want to use a different connector (such as NIOConnector..) that supports Events if you keep in mind your client's browser will not display anything until the entire request is complete. so write a client application for your cometProcessor, to test how it works details at http://people.apache.org/~fhanik/http.html
a rather elaborate example is located here http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0809_vamsi/0809_vamsi.html#15.Creating%20an%20NIO%20Connector|outline realising the asynchronous event model uses the comet processor http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/api/org/apache/catalina/CometProcessor.html a more complete example is available here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/109294/are-writes-from-within-a-tomcat-6-cometprocessor-non-blocking filip and bill have been doing the most work on this Processor so i would ping them for more information..
