Displaying 'progress' screen for long running reports

2002-11-08 Thread Michael Edge
Hi I have a Cocoon application that provides a front-end to a reporting system, and some of the reports take quite a while to run - in the order of 5-10 minutes. I need to provide a feature whereby the user submits the report request and a screen appears that polls the report every 10 seconds

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,
