How to handle long waits...

[Andrew Myers <ab...@netscape.net>]

Hi all,

One of my struts actions will call a process which generates and returns 
a PDF.  Depending on the size of this document there can be quite a 
lengthy delay while this occurs.   I'd like to display a message to the 
user saying "Generating PDF, please wait" until the document is returned 
however I'm not quite sure what the best approach to this is.  I have 
seen in the archives an idea which involves using the <META 
HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0"/> tag however I expect this might cause 
a timeout to occur if the process takes to long?  Any suggestions on how 
to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew.
