Well one possible solution is for the report generator to write a file to the hard drive on the web server
The browser would poll cocoon (action/xsp/..) to check if the file exists or not. if so then return the generated report file otherwise return the status page. As to the status page, it probably needs some javascript on a timer to poll cocoon periodically for the file. >From a more practical point of view you may want to do some analysis and see if these >reports can be pregenerated nightly or hourly or... (but it depends how dynamically >they are). Or if reports take that long then try to speed them up, e.g. is report generator on the same box as the web server move it off, or generate reports at night in advance... or look at your queries, indexes, etc. yes there's reports that take a while but... perhaps you can do something about that. later, md --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
