Hi!

I looked at Simple and thought it would be a perfect solution to create a
streaming HTML chat with it - because it does not use Servlets and because I
can create a thread in the process method. I modified the HelloService, but
the output appears only *after* the close has been issued, i.e. no
streaming. Here is my experimental code in the process method:

      resp.set("Content-Type", "text/html");
      out.println("<html><body><h1>Hello Service</h1>");
      resp.commit();
      //out.println("Hello World</body></html>");
      //out.close();
   new Thread(new Runnable(){
    int counter = 0;
         public void run() {
            try {
               //service.forward(req, resp);
               while (true)
               {
                 //final PrintStream out2 = resp.getPrintStream();
                out.println("Hello World #" + (++counter) + "<br>");
                out.flush();
                //out.close();
                resp.getOutputStream().flush();
          resp.commit();
                System.out.println("PRINTING..");
                Thread.sleep(1000);
                if (counter == 10)
                {
      out.close();
      break;
                }
               }
            }catch(Exception e){
               // ....
               e.printStackTrace(System.err);
            }
         }
      }).start();

Is there any easy way to do streaming with Simple?

TIA & Regards
