Thanks a lot Brian for the detailed information. So basically, my mistake is I was using the event/stream handler for text/html and expecting the output. Actually, I have to make a separate handler for event stream and use javascript for updating the data.
I was thinking that templates can be used for dynamic updates. But actually they are static and once they are loaded then any update, within some section of the page(like ajax), can be done using JS through a separate handler. However, if we are ok to refresh the whole page then we can call the same template handler again. Thank you very very much for great help.
