Hm, the reason I asked, is because of a test I ran. strLine is always null.

Using the following code for processRequest:

response.setContentType("text/plain");
   
    m_out = response.getWriter();
    m_bufRead = request.getReader();
   
    while (true) {
       strLine = m_bufRead.readLine();
     
       if (strLine != null) {
          if (strLine.startsWith("login")) {
            ProcessLogin();
          } else if (strLine.startsWith("exit")) {
            break;
          }
       } else {
          try {
            Thread.sleep(1000);
          } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
          }
       }
    }
   
    m_bufRead = null;
    m_out.close();
