This is most easily done using the standard Java extension, the Java Shared
data Toolkit (JSDT). You can make your applet a JSDT client that listens for
JSDT session related events (i.e., changes in shared data), then react to those
events appropriately. This will provide you with true asynchronous messaging
and allow you to scale the messaging service to multiple servers.

As to your second question, I'm not sure why you would want to use another
webserver other than the one that comes with JWS. Could you explain the
application?
