is there a quick way to close the browser from a servlet ?

for the moment, when the user clicks on QUIT, I do a redirection to another
html page

Redirection redirection = new Redirection("/index.html");
return redirection;

How do i just close the browser, without any redirection ?.
thanks

close.html :
<html>
<body onLoad="window.close()">
</body>

Servlet :
Redirection redirection = new Redirection("/close.html");

this would work perfectly but then i need to add an html file to my webapp,
i don't want that ..

You don't need your extra file if you write "raw" html from your servlet:

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) {
    OutputStream out = req.getOutputStream();
    out.write("<html>");
    out.write("<body onLoad='window.close();'>");
    out.write("</html>");
    out.close();
}

(i've not tried the code above, but that is the idea)
