If your clients are more technical, you could have the client provide a 'callback' web service when they invoke the original call. So for example, if your web service method signature looked like: updateEmployee(employee_id, first_name, last_name) you could update it to: updateEmployee(employee_id, first_name, last_name, callback_url) It is now possible when you run your batch, to return an xml packet to the callback url (you could include status, etc. in the packet). If this solution is to technical for your clients, then Bryan's suggestion of a getStatus(employeeId) which would allow your clients to poll the application seems to be the best solution.
