The "threading stuff" only sounds intimidating but its actually
simple. In the execute() method of your action class, all you need to
do is go something like:
new Thread() {
public void run() {
//your processing logic
Business.processWhatever();
//place flag in session afterwards
request.getSession(false).setAttribute("myFlag", "");
}
}
.start()
return mapping.findForward("processing");
Note that you have to make final variables of all the parameters of
the execute() method for this to compile as i used an anonymous inner
class...
