Hi list,

We have a long running process (all in java, not external) that is initiated from 
struts action class, (does a lot of file I/O, etc)

The browser apparently timesout after about 20 minutes or whereabouts, and then 
suddenly the process do stops bang in the middle as soon as this happens. This is 
quite puzzling as one expects the process to continue even if the browser timed out.

I do know the correct solution is to make it run in the background and give constant 
updates to the user, however, we just need to make it work ASAP with the correct 
approach. We'll migrate to the background process & progress page approach soon enough.

Any pointers/comments on browser (Internet Explorer), server (Tomcat) settings and 
Struts settings to handle long-running activities in the web-request cycle would be 
greatly appreciated. I did scout the web, but apart from the connectionTimeout setting 
in the <connector> element of tomcat, I didn't find anything much. I don't think 
increasing session-timeout would be of any help here.

Any pointers on how to avoid the 'freeze' would also be much appreciated. 

Thank you,
Tarun
