RE: Can servlet generate a Web page first, then continue to run ?

[STOCKHOLM, Raymond]

If you explicitely close your writer (the outputstream) in your servlet, the client 
will receive your page,
and your servlet will be able to continue to work :

protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request,  HttpServletResponse 
response)
        throws ServletException , IOException {
                PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
                out.println("Page to display to client");
                out.close();
                // Do some work in your servlet...

}

hi,

I want to show a page immediately after the visiters' Form Submitting ,then do some 
logical processing at backgroud(this will assume a long time, so it may bother the 
visitor).  I surpose to do these in one servlet.

How can I do this?

Thanks
