That is my basic plan is to have one thread that runs, emptying out the input queue, as all requests are put into there. I figure I can check back every 10s, though it may be pushed to 30s, to see if the job was finished. I want to give them updates, as some of the students grades may be updated, but not all, so they can at least see some progress, and to give them updated approximate finish times. By using javascript and xmlhttprequest the user won't click the submit button. They can close the browser, and come back later, and still see what the status is. :) Thanks to all for their responses, I think I have an idea how to approach this now. I first need a counter to test my servlet and make certain the same instance is processing everything. - -- "Love is mutual self-giving that ends in self-recovery."
