Dear friends,

I need to let the users to talk with each other over the web for a web based application using JSP and servlet. What should I do...??
I've searched google but could not found a source code that let me to add this feature to this project.

When you say "talk", do you mean voice chat or text chatting?

The Java Media Framework is where you will find audio related toolkits.

One thing to understand is that that Servlets (and thus JSPs) operate over HTTP which is a stateless protocol.

Voice chat requires a client that can maintain a statefull connection with the server. This means that, to do this with Java, you would need to look into applets.
