Sure... Remote Scripting. Check out a few articles I've written about it (which includes a couple of servlet base classes to kick start the process):
Remote Scripting Using a Servlet http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/wa-resc/ Pushing Messages to a Browser Using Remote Scripting http://www.webreview.com/2001/05_04/developers/index01.shtml Sending rich messages between client and server using asynchronous messaging http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/wa-rich/ There are the usual browser issues to deal with in attempting to update the UI dynamically without refreshing the page completely - but it can be done in the latest browsers reasonably well. The last article listed is probably the best one to base an implementation off of, as its a rich API for asynchronous messaging.
