redirect question

[Arnold Cano <ar...@virtualplus.com>]

i have run into a bit of a problem.  my action class calls beans that
'could' take a few seconds at least to process and return.  is there a way
in struts to have a redirect or forward to a page that says 'processing...'
while the beans are busy and then forward correctly once they are done?  has
anyone else run into a similar problem?

In your action class that calls the bean to do the work, you could pass a
reference to the HttpSession. The work bean would then notify the session
when it is done working. Then have the page that displays the
"processing..." message auto-refresh itself, calling an action class that
checks the HttpSession to see if the process has finished. That is, use the
HttpSession as a message queue to facilitate communication between the work
bean and the action class that is diplaying the processing message page.

sure u can try out the layers tutorial on http://developer.netscape.com/
