Dear Rainer, Thanks for explanation. In this particular case, when client press a button on JSP, it initiates a Database search operation, which may take time up to 30-45 seconds. Meanwhile, we are showing a screen which tell user that his / her request is being processed and no to close the window.
But, sometimes users are impatient and still close the window. Yes, as you suggested, it is possible to handle close event / stop processing by some notification, but application is full of such utilities, and it is too much of efforts. I am interested in some parameterization, which detects broken connection and automatically drops stuck request. I have even checked this with requests with STAGE as KEEPALIVE, but not working with STAGE as SERVICE. Also, I am not able to figure out, why the processing is repeated.

Without trying to send something back to the client, there is no way telling the client closed the window (or pressed reload or switched to another URL). So in order to be able to stop processing long running stuff, you need to try sending something to the client every now and then, and your code working on producing the real response content needs to be stopped by some notification. You will need to implement this yourself. Maybe someone can provide some example code? > Kindly help.
