Hi Jiri,

because services are sowewhat "faceless components", they are sowehow predestinated for tasks like this.

Nevertheless, you will have to open another thread, so that the request/response cycle can be ended subsecond, while the application logic works in background.

This I would do within the service implementation. Just pass the input parameters and the session, so that the thread can put it's results into the session. The portal component which gets called every 3 seconds (or so) just controls if the result has been set into the session. If yes, take it and react on the result, if not, just repost the "Waiting for a result . . ." page (the one which reloads itself).

Hope it helps

Hi Jiri,

You had a good answer, but did you forget to give points? It's a way to say "thanks".

See: <u><></u> for directions.

Click on the Yellow Star icon in each reply.

You can give:

1 - 10 pointer (solves problem, marks as answered)

2 - 6 pointers (very helpful)

Lots of 2 pointers (helpful)

This time I did it for you, but you can change it.

Cheers,

Joan (and Mark Finnern)
