That's the way HTTP works. You browser connects to a web server when it makes a request. And once it gets a response, it disconnects. The connection, it creates, may be persistent (default with HTTP/1.1) though. But servers generally timeout after being idle for sometime. So what you are looking for in terms of consistent or persistent connections may not be guaranteed this way. You should consider using sessions in your servlet or jsp (that is if you just want to persist the user state) or maybe use sockets (may run into firewall/security issues)

Could anyone help me out here?
