I have a situation that seems to fit the Async Servlet 3.0 / Comet situation but all I need to do is return a 200 response code (or other) after accepting the incoming parameter
This example can help
void doPost(){ // do something final ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(); executor.execute(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { // processing after response } });}
