Hi :-)  is the following possible?  if it is wrong, please don't
laugh...       //haha :-)


*
  - being similar with HttpSession,  make a "AsyncServletSession":
    it will:
   0   remember the current HttpServletRequest and  HttpServletResponse
   1   start  a "TimeEatingProcessing"
   2   release the current Servlet thread
   3  after the "TimeEatingProcessing" is finished, it starts another Servlet
       thread and response to the original client; the client don't know all
       this: the client just wait there.

  - and make a "AsyncServletable" interface for callback, it
    defines a method which is use for "TimeEatingProcessing", and
    when this method is being invoked, that Servlet thread  can be
    re-put back into the thread pool and/or  be reused.
     public interface AsyncServletable{
        public abstract void doTimeEatingWrok();
    }


* the code will be like the following:
   public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet
                                      implement AsyncServletable{
   ...
   public void service(...) ...{
       //make/get a AsyncServletSession
      AsyncServletSession ars=req.getAsyncServletSession(true);
      ars.rememberCurrentStatus(request,  response);
      ars.startAsyncProcess(this);
      ...
      //begin to do a TimeEating work, and don't reply to client: client
      //is waiting there
      ars.askClientToWait(response);

      //"release" the current thread
      ars.releaseThisThread();
   }
   ...

  public void doTimeEatingWrok(){
     //do a TimeEating work, for example, serch a database...
  }
  ...
}


*  but I think HttpSession can be across multi server", but
    perhaps the above "AsyncServletSession" can not do it:
    because I guess the "underlying TCP socket" can not be
    "redirected"  to another server, or is it possible? thanks
    in advance! :-)
