Stefano, You would probably be better off creating a thread to run this lengthy process in the background and have your Servlet send back a "please wait" response and refresh automatically after several seconds to check the status until it completes and you can display all of the results. If you're set on doing it though, look for a way to manually flush output from a JSP. I'm not sure how to do that or if you can (I'm sure you probably can, I just haven't ever had the need to do it). But, be careful if you're displaying these rows in a table. Netscape (I'm not sure if this holds true for newer Gecko powered versions) for example won't render a table until it's received the whole thing.
Hope that helps, Mike -----Original Message----- From: Unternaehrer Stefano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 1:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to send back data without to wait for the complete page. Hello all. Hope the subject explains what I mean. I even don't know how to call that, so cannot search it in archives, and don't know if this behaviour can be setted for a specific jsp page or at tomcat configuration level. I have a page wich requires some time to be executed, you can imagine to receive a table with different rows, where every row require some time to be prepared. I would like that the used doesn't need to wait for the last row to be ready before to see something, but instead that it will see the first rows as soon as possible, than others following when ready. Is this possible with tomcat? I'm using version 3.2.1 but can upgrade when required.
