Recent Web Applications provide not only request-response services but also notification services that notify users by email. We have developed an agent server approach with user agents residing on the server side and working for the users. We used the Java-based agent server named Caribbean for two live financial portal sites in 2000. Through this work, we confirmed that the agent server is effective for developing Web applications. In this paper, we describe our experiences with the agent server approach in these applications, showing its effectiveness for application development and its efficient performance.
