We have some servlets which may potentially create long-lived database searches, data mining, etc. If the user is willing to wait for the servlet to complete, everything is good, but if they press 'stop', visit another page, or otherwise close the connection to the webserver, we want to get notified. This way, we can abort the database connection, so the database isn't being used to run unnecessary searches.
First, is there a facility in the API for a servlet to set up a listener, so the servlets gets notified when the servlet container has lost the connection? Secondly, is anyone aware of any webserver implementation which triggers the notification? It seems that this would be an obvious kind of feature, but doesn't seme to be implemented. I also asked on the Sun Java Servlet forum, but no one seems to have any idea. Thanks Steve __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
