Hi, Have been successfully writing small webapps for some time, but I have hit a difficult issue and was wondering if anyone had any ideas
the scenario... Page1 contains a link to a document. when the link is clicked, Page2 appears which contains a large text document stored is a text field in a DB. This field can be anything from 100K to several MB. This is an acceptable size for our network. However before showing the page the JSP page runs through a routine to look for certain words and prefix them with a link to the previous word, *and* postfix them with a link to the next word. There can be up to 100 of these words in a document. The issue is this can take up to 200 seconds to complete. The Idea... I want to put this processing in a separate thread which is called when Page1 appears. This jsp page starts the processing. Page2 then requests the data (possibly from a session variable) returned by this thread and displays the data... So for a thread newbie... Is this possible, if so, how. Thanks, Dominic
