why dont you make this long job an asynchronous one that runs even after the http response has been sent. the confirmation can be sent via an email. you can use Runtime.exec() to create an asynchronous job. regards partha

This question crops up every so often. My best answer is still to treat the request as a batch request, i.e. program design. Simply initiate the request, and provide a link to fetch the data when it becomes available. (email is always an option as well.) Holding an http connection for 10 miniues introduces problems, and any failures might cause the user to post multiple queries, each one often needing to complete before being aborted.
