[Jython-users] Threads in a PyServlet script -- how?

[Karl U. <ka...@ul...>]

I've been using PyServlet "pylets" a fair bit lately, and one
case came up that I hadn't seen an example of.  My application
has a few web-based reports that a user can request.  Most
of these run quickly enough to return a result to the browser
immediately.

However, a few take 10+ minutes, and I'd rather not leave the
user waiting.  I was hoping I could have -those- reports 
do two things when run:
	- return a "your request has been queued" message to the user
	- continue running the report (it'll be saved/served later)

Is there a reasonable way to do this with PyServlet scripts,
or is that asking it to do too much?  (assuming I'll need threads).

Thanks,

Karl
