Geeta,
Thankyou very much actually, I got one more idea that basically orginated
from
JGuru which right now i am using it for my program..
Basically thing is like this.. i will be using a servlet which connect to a
system and displays the list of files in them and the user then select them
download them..
now when the user calls servlet the serlvet connects to system this would
take few minutes and there is another class that would try repeatedly and
finally connect
in this mean time i want user to show what connection is about that point of
time..something like a progress bar..
Now as u suggested i am running the connection in seprate thread and storing
that in a
session.. i conect to the serlvet each and everytime retreive the session
and then
check the thread display the same to user.. this is working fine..
Any how thanks for your Suggestion,,
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh:
Here's a "Please wait" implementation that i found in the Java pro web site:
http://www.devx.com/free/tips/tipview.asp?content_id=3254
I haven't tested it , but you may want to.
What I have tested tested, though, is the following idea (also got from (the
paper issue of) Java pro)), which works quite nicely and which Is really
nice
because you can be reasonably certain you don't need to worry about browser
incompatabiliies (due to minimal use of JavaScript). Of course if the user
turns
off Javascript, all bets are off! Here goes:
> <form name="initialform" action="/servlet/ShowWaitMessage" method="POST"
> ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
>
> <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="name" VALUE="whatever">
>
> </form>

session vars..)

resp)
