dynamic display

[satellite03]

i have a java program which generates output mesages one by one with some interval . i want to display those messages on the webpage one by one (with newline )dynamically.how can i do it ? is it possible in DHTML ?

Where is the Java program running? Is is an application or a servlet running on the server? Or is it an applet running in the browser?

servlet running on the server

Where is the servlet currently outputting the messages?

A servlet should already be writing back to the browser, so it shouldn't be too hard to write the messages back out. Your best bet is really the Java forum.

You could try a static web page, with an embedded applet. The applet connects to the servlet and displays the lines as they come. Depending on how the original servlet is coded, it may need updating (but of course, you've followed MVC best practice, right?!)

Web pages aren't designed to be real-time dynamic; using DHTML might be more trouble than it's worth. For me, an applet seems the simplest approach.

The only other option would be an IE only solution. To use the MSXML framework's HTTP request object to connect to the servlet and write out the responses to a div tag... but that limits you to windowz/IE only.
