Maria Helena, a servlet is just a piece of code tied to a http address.
Of course it can show traps, but:
a) trap handling mechanics shoud be implemented in an inner layer of
your application. A solution would be to write a java application as a
trap listener and make the servlet talk to it using rmi. Be aware your
servlet will only handle request and presentation logic.
b) You have no means to tell browsers about an event. There are two
simple ways to solve it, writing an applet able to pool the servlet or
placing a META tag in your page, telling the browse to refresh it
periodically. I am using this second option to diplay syslog events and
it work fairly well.
