list of active pc

Hallo

I m relatively new to java

With that i have a conceptual question

I want from a JSP site ,. monitor a set of PCs. What i now do is , let a java application run on each of these pcs , which send their computername in a indefinite loop with an interval of say 10 seconds to a webserver. Here in this webserver i generate a list of logged pcs and make a list

I reqest this from the client ( any browser in any pc )

Is there any , better or elegant way to do this in java ?

Regards
