Hello all. I've been wrestling with an asynchronous comms problem (for
almost a week) and am wondering if implementing struts can help.
I'm developing a web application that'll send a message to a server,
then wait for a response and display that response to a web browser (the
client). The problem is, the server requires an indeterminate
amount of time (from several seconds up to minutes, perhaps even hours
in production) so the servlet must 'wait' somehow until a response is
ready. Implementing blocking calls at the servlet level doean't seem
the way to go and I don't think a producer/consumer pattern will help
either.
Still searching the archives (my connection is unreliable today for some
reason) so my apologies if this has been dealt with already. Please
point me to the right resources if possible. Thanks in advance for any
and all replies.
Greg
