Maybe what you need it is to do a Ajax call in someway if asynchronous is required otherwise Filter will keep waiting for an answer.
@German, this confirms my expectations. I don't need it for something specific, I just wanted to check if I am not misunderstanding the concept.
@Paul, thanks for the link. The available information about asynchronous processing in Servlets is sparse and insufficient(in my opinion). The only source is Servlet 3.0 specification and few articles on the net.
