I don't think they share sessions (cookies) or connections.

Agreed, but again from Googleing somewhere it stated we should include this in our pom.xml as required to "make it all work". On a more general level, was the Comet implementation in Tomcat simply a precursor to Servlet 3.0's asynchronous functionality? In looking at other examples and reading the overview of the Servlet 3.0 spec, it seems as though it will do what I want. Why would I use the Comet stuff in Tomcat? My current idea is to use the latest version of Tomcat 7, Servlet 3.0 (ie dropping servlet-api-2.5 and adding javaee-api-6.0 to my pom.xml) and implementing something similar to: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-stream/source/browse/sub-projects/jquery-stream-servlet/trunk/src/main/java/flowersinthesand/example/ChatServlet.java Does this seem like a reasonable path forward? Thanks again for the quick response... Bill-
