AsyncServlet

This project is a very small example of how to use asynchronous servlets in Java. It demonstrates how to handle long-running tasks without blocking the servlet container's threads. This project was created as part of a blog post on Async responses with Servlet.

Here is what this project includes:

• HelloServlet: A simple servlet that handles GET requests asynchronously.
• HelloServletComet: A servlet that simulates a long-running task.
• HelloServletSync: A synchronous version of the HelloServlet for comparison.
• MultipartMixedServlet: A servlet that generates multipart/mixed responses.

Prerequisites

• Java 21
• Maven
