Im trying to create a servlet that is able to push back to the browser rather than just operate a a pull mechanism.

To create this, there is a piece of javascript embedded within the html outputted to the browser, so when additional javascript code is written in at a later stage calling that function, that user can be notified of events he is registered to.

Perhaps not the way servlets were made to work but anyway!
Unless you are able to come up with a better solution?

How do i stop the response from ending then? I have left the html open at the end so no /html code and I have not closed the output to the browser.
