Applet-servlet communication
Hi,
I have an applet communicating to a long-duration back-end process through a servlet. Currently, the applet waits for the back-end process to finish and the front-end hangs / does not display any messages.
I would like to know how I can implement a process by which I can look at status of what's going on in the back-end process every few minutes and get the messages displayed on the front-end.
I would like to know if I have to implement multi-threading in servlet or in the applet? Do I need to use MDB's? The servlet passes and receives data from the applet through ObjectStreaming mechanism. So the thread is not alive next time the servlet is invoked.
Please let me know. Regards, Srichakra
