Printing from methods other than doGet()

Question

Hi,
I want to send back a "result" string to the client side browser. Now, the problem is that it should be sent back from a method different from doGet(). Iam doing something like this................
public class A extends HttpServlet
PrintWriter out;
public void doGet() throws......................
out = response.getWriter();
public void someOtherMethod()
out.println(result);
The call in someOtherMethod() is not working. What should be done for this ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I have tried it. The problem is Iam using a Timer class. Have a look at the code Iam using.......
public class event extends HttpServlet
private Timer t;
private static int count = 1;
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
String eve;
String res;
eve=request.getParameter("opt");
EventAgent de=new EventAgent();
res=de.sendEventToEventAgent(eve);
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(res);
t = new Timer();
t.schedule(new GenerateRegNo(request,response),2,12000);
class GenerateRegNo extends TimerTask
private Random r;
private int no;
private String result;
private PrintWriter out;
public GenerateRegNo(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse
res) throws IOException
r = new Random();
out = res.getWriter();
public void run()
if(count <= 20)
DispReg();
count++;
else
t.cancel();
public void DispReg()
no = r.nextInt(3);
if(no == 0)
no = no + 11;
else
no = no + 10;
EventAgent de=new EventAgent();
result=de.sendEventToEventAgent(String.valueOf(no));
out.println(result);
Still not getting the desired result..........
Thank you once again.
