Answer 1

I recommend you to use websockets as they’re really efficient to exchange in real time (push instead of pull) data between a server and html clients. They’re bidirectionnal and roughly equivalent to the sockets you’re used to (hence their name). Client-side, they use the same callback based logic than ajax clients but that doesn’t mean they’re not fast.

Googling “java chat websocket” would give you other results.
