James, I can think of creating new thread and hand-off the process (MDB calling) to background. Make your business process (where MDB call made) to implement Runnable and put your logic inside "run()" so your web-app creates new Thread and invokes "start()". You can immediately call display page after "start()", this is asynchronous.
