Hi,
        My 2 cents..
For the first half of your query, you can use JMX timer. Best way to do
that
Is to write an MBean that register itself with the timer and eventually
receive notifications.
You can make so that the 'object htat needs to be updated all the time'
is
A listener to notifications sent from the Timer. This 'object' should be
inside your Mbean, and you can write a method on your MBean that returns
the
Current status.
Ok, maybe I am giving u too much info,  but please check JMX and the
Timer service to see if it suits you

Regards
        marco

Subject: Best Practice for long running tasks with status check

Hi,

  I need to start an long running task by a struts action which will
  run for maybe half an hour. I dont want the action to run for half
  an hour. It should start the task and then respond that the task has
  been started. Also it should be possible to check the
  status of the task and see for example how many elements have already
  been processed.

  What would be the best practice to do this? Code examples would be
  also appreciated.
  

Regards,
 Martin
