Why not create a class that implements Thread? You could start it from your
JSP page or servlet, and it should run in the background. Then, your JSP
page
will continue processing concurrently with the ODBC process.

Subject: how best to execute long-running batch process in JSP
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello all, I am about to write a JSP/Servlet
app (Tomcat w/ IIS on W2K). This app will
have some batch processes that will extract data from an ODBC data source,
perform some lengthy manipulation on that data, and then store it to an ODBC
data store (may be the same source or another). What are your thoughts on the
best way to go about this? I would like to be
able to "trigger" the process if necessary from a web page, but if I try to
perform the calculations within the scope of that page it will likely time
out. Perhaps I can schedule this process somehow to run once a night? Any
comments/help will be appreciated. Aaron
