Cool Much more complete answer than mine but still not a great idea, and has the same downsides as the meta tag stuff, unless I am missing the point. The "processing servlet", the process that takes a long time, is only fired off once the user has downloaded the "please wait" page and executed the java script. Perhaps I am worrying over nothing but what would be real nice is to be able to fire off the long job first, then display the message, then somehow connect up to the long job. Perhaps you could do something with threads to fire off the long job..... or maybe I am making this just a little too complex!

HI, We are using the struts & tiles framework in our project. There is a particular request that consumes a lot of time (20 seconds). Instead of showing a blank page is it possible to show a "Please Wait " message while the processing is happening in the background. Then when the processing is over the page should come up automatically. IS THIS POSSIBLE?
