In your action class that calls the bean to do the work, you could pass a
reference to the HttpSession. The work bean would then notify the session
when it is done working. Then have the page that displays the
"processing..." message auto-refresh itself, calling an action class that
checks the HttpSession to see if the process has finished. That is, use the
HttpSession as a message queue to facilitate communication between the work
bean and the action class that is diplaying the processing message page.
