Thanks everyone for their inputs.

 

I have another question with regards to the flashing icon.

Currently the icon exists in the tool bar. How can we have the icon in the tool bar from a web app ?

you can build an applet that runs invisible in your jsp page...the applet will be waiting for server notifications. Every time the applet receives a notification, it can forces your web page to refresh data. For server side, you should implement a simple server that will have a private session for every connected appplet.

 

Hope this helps.

I saw a product once that used Javascript to interact with an applet, which then established network connections on its behalf.  I think in that case it was only using straight "pull" HTTP requests, but presumably you could open a connection that would accept a server-initiated "push".

I would expect such an approach to be pretty involved, but you might want to research it more.
