Hi,
This might be a general J2EE question rather than a Struts question.
In our app we need to start some background java jobs upon a user
request on a web based form. These jobs will execute for around 10 minutes.
So once a user makes a request we need to kick off a job in the background
from the action class and show a message to the user saying "Your job is
executing".
What is the best way of doing this?
A couple of thoughts that we have on this is
1) To set some flag in our database upon the user's job request.
Then have some unix script run every 5 minutes to check for that flag
2) Start a thread in our action class to execute the job.
Any thoughts on what could be a better approach or has anyone done
something similar using some other methodology?
Thanks,
Gaurav
