Hi; The method I use (which gives no % update) is I forward to a page that says please wait and has an animated gif. That page does a "<meta http-equiv="refresh"..." to the servlet that runs the database work. This way the please wait page is displayed until the database work completes and it's page is displayed.

I can run these files fine, but they take a few minutes to run... How can I tell the user when they have finished running? This seems to be a sort of push technology I am in need of, but maybe there is another way?. I can definitely tell them to wait for a few minutes, but how do I actually tell them when the process is done (since there is not another page request at this time.) Has anyone done something similar to this?
