Launching Browser from servlet.

I have a program on my local drive that 'bridges' and starts a servlet running. The servlet is to map some data,
and then launch the browser & jsp to display pages with data
captured from the program that was on the local drive.
at the end of my doPost method in my servlet, I've tried:
RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("myjspname.jsp");
rd.forward(req,res);
But this has not worked. I know I'm missing something here.
Thanks in advance.

Server-side code (servlets) can't start a browser. The browser must be running already...

Can you convert your bridging program into an HTML page with nothing on it but one submit button that says "Start Process".

That way you could launch it from the browser, and the response would show up in the browser window.
