You do understand that there really is no such thing as "push" (at least in HTTP)? The client has to have a receive up, so you can't use just a plain browser - the client has to be Comet-compatible. With Tomcat 7, you will be able to use the trick Bill B mentioned: send incomplete chunked responses to keep the client from timing out until the full response is ready, without dedicating a thread to the task. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
