Please. That would be a big help to me and might help form some concensus around best practices for this sort of thing. -----Original Message----- From: John Dickinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 3:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Ian Sparks Subject: Re: [Webware-discuss] Task-Queue using Webware... I've done a similar thing with one of our Webware applications. I started the thread in my webware servlet. Once I started the worker thread, I set a refresh header in the servlet to keep reloading the page (say, every 5 seconds). The main function for the thread was one of the methods of my servlet class, so I was able to use a session variable to keep track of the status of my worker thread. When I created the worker thread, I set some session variables to let me know if it had been created and started and whatnot. Those variables prevented me from trying to recreate the thread on each page refresh. Now, I had a lot of control over the environment for this process, so I'm not sure how well this would scale, but it worked for me. If you are interested, I could probably post some example code. --John On Fri, 21 May 2004 11:25:56 -0400 "Ian Sparks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a situation where I need to submit long-running tasks via a Webware > application.
