A:
You can not close browser window from the servlet.
But you can close window using javascript.
For example write something like:
<body onLoad="closeWindow(<% bean.isCloseWindow %>)">
And in javascript function "closeWindow" do something like this:
function closeWindow(ifClose) {
if (ifClose) {
window.close();
}
}

A:
It's true that you can close a window using JavaScript's window.close(), but the window will only be closed when the window is opened by your application using window.open() and not when it is opened by the enduser itself (e.g. by a link, form submit, bookmark, etc).
