uh... if you want your app to be "J2EE", and you want control over the scalability of it, then yup, you want your servlet to accept the request, queue it to an MDB and send back a "request accepted" reply. You could potentially display a list of "batch" requests that are in progress with the option to view the results of the one(s) that are finished.
If not, then follow Nic's advice and write it in python! -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet API Technology.

The answer to my original question, about getting a "busy page" displayed, would appear to be to write a Messaged Driven Bean, put it in a WAR file, wrap it in a EAR file and install it in an app server that may or may not be J2EE which supports JMS, JNI, JMX, JSP and JTA. Who'd have know it was that complex!
