Of course. It's the problem I was describing. The only way to do it using the Servlet model is to keep the service method running forever, since the Servlet API doesn't allow the server to write data asynchronously in response to certain events. It is actually the SIP Servlets model (which is why I mentioned it earlier). > Well actually you caught me here. You are right.

I said you need to use polling, or use 5000 threads (which is not a problem if you have enough memory). -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rémy Maucherat Developer & Consultant JBoss Inc xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
