Hi, the use case here is for report generation. I would like to be
able to submit a GWT form to a servlet that will generate the report,
and upon form submission, pop-up a new browser window containing the
PDF report in it.

I have read that the easiest way to do this is to POST the form to the
servlet, generate the report, put the report into the user's
HttpSession, return a token that identifies the report in the session
back to the client, and then open a pop-up window issuing a GET
request with the token. However this approach would require me to
perform session cleanup as generating a lot of reports can bloat one's
session.

I would prefer to be able to (1) pop-up a window (maybe display a
"Loading..." message), (2) POST the form to the servlet, and (3) on
the callback of this request, change the content of the window to
display the response from the request.

Is this at all possible?? I can't figure out how to do step (3).
