Bertrand Delacretaz updated SLING-550:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Support for background servlets (was: nohup-like service for
long-running scripts or servlets)
> Support for background servlets
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-550
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-550
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Priority: Minor
>
> In some cases (like the webloader example), long-running processes need to be
> started, monitored and stopped.
> The webloader implements this in a naive way, it might be useful to have a
> more generic facility for this: a service that would:
> 1) Start a script or servlet, probably passing it a fake request object that
> gives access to parameters and output but is not a real HTTP request
> 2) Display a status page where currently running jobs can be monitored, and
> stopped if desired
> 3) Collect the output of such jobs in the repository and give access to it
> via a simple monitoring interface
> The output of long-running jobs could be structured using html conventions
> (like <div class="status">running step 3 of 12</div>) to create overview
> displays of all currently running jobs.
> This is just an idea for now, I'm not going to work on this right away, but
> it's probably good to keep in our wishlist.
