How can you make a read-command from a stream to hold the program execution until something's written to the stream? That is, not reading null and continue.

I'm developing a client/server thing and don't wanna ask the server all the time if it has any data to send.

The client is an applet and the server is a servlet and I can't use sockets, just http posts.
