I'd recommend setting a "registration-in-progress" session cookie. Then, add a check on the first page of your process; obviously anyone requesting pages 2-5 already has completed page 1 (I assume you have some kind of check that assures this, and redirects them to page 1 if they haven't). If the load is low, set the cookie and continue processing; otherwise redirect to the "Server busy -- try again later" page. Not being a Tomcat expert, I don't know how you can get the current session count, but I'm guessing it'd be more efficient to set some kind of indicator, and use that instead of re-querying it with every request. Either have a separate thread that re-checks every N minutes, or just keep a request counter of some sort and re-check every N requests. Hmmm, I seem to be pointing out the obvious now, so I'll be quiet.... ----------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this message is confidential proprietary property of Nelnet, Inc. and its affiliated companies (Nelnet) and is intended for the recipient only.
