Now *that* is the sort of advice I like :o) My applications are not distributed, load balanced, e-commerce type wotzits. They are pretty much stand alone number crunchers and report writers that I chose to deliver over the web on our intranet (saves installing traditional apps on each box blah, blah, blah). My issue is that I can either do all sorts of smart caching to speed up the reporting side of things, or I can do querying on-demand (avoiding stale cache issues). I just want to inform the user, and flip the display, so they don't keep clicking the damn submit button/link. We're only talking about lags of around 15-20 seconds on some of the reports - but you know what theses users are, if is ain't instant they call you up to say the "site is down". I've been studying you example servlet and may pester you later! Thanks again.
