I've never really done this for real, but I think I'd do it like this: On the first HTTP-Request, the job gets sent on the JMS queue. The user receives a "Please wait.." page with an automatic refresh and and ID that will be returned to the server upon refresh. Use the ID in a message selector to see whether the job with the respective ID has already finished. If not, send the "Please wait..." again.
I think this should work, but I may be wrong. I'm sure there are others on the list who have done similar things. I think I remember some posts on one of the FOP lists. Browsing the mail archive might be interesting. > This is an interesting suggestion - but how does the notification to the > Front Controller allow a user to know when the document is ready without > some type of polling?
