[OT]: Need Ideas for This Puzzle

[DG...@EvergreenInvestments.com]

Maybe it's because it's Friday, or maybe it's because I've been especially 
dense this week, but isn't multithreading orthogonal to the problem?

Hi, Caroline,

Just a little follow up to all these good suggestions.  I agree that if 
you use the Action, then you should definitely use helper classes and 
hopefully decouple them from the action.  I like to use multithreading 
in the helper classes generally.  The suggestions about using the 
ActionForm instead are also good.  I guess to decide whether you want to 
go with Action or ActionForm should depend on whether your logic makes 
the choice of roles one of presentation or one of buisness logic.  I 
think it could go either way.  Definitely these are two different 
approaches.
