Hi, Sorry if this has been covered before - I couldn't see anything in the archive.
What I want to know is the best/preferred way to display a "Busy" page/message while my servlet grinds away crunching numbers. At the end to the processing I want my html report output to be displayed instead of the "Busy" message. I've tried lots of ways of doing this (redirects/imports via JSPs, ServletFilters etc) but nothing ever does the very task I required. Surely this is a very common task. The only thing I've not bothered trying is firing off a separate thread to do my processing. I figure there has to be a cleaner way. Thanks in advance.
