Just to doublecheck, you are talking about separate client applications running on different client machines?
Such synchronization works and is a part of the ROP design. It requires a setup of a communication channel from the server to each client to be able to do server "push". In the past I used XMPP connection for that purpose (see example web.xml declarations here: http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/remote-object-persistence-cws-deployment.html ). This requires running a separate XMPP server, but otherwise works nicely.
A different transport can be plugged in, such as JGroups multicast if all clients are on the same network, or Jetty 6 continuations, servlet 3.0 async communication. (I very much like to investigate the last option with Jetty 7, just didn't have an occasion yet).
Hope this helps. Andrus
