Hello all, I work for the Tree of Life Web Project. We're still working on Tapestry 4.0.2 (though I'm hoping to migrate to 4.1.* this summer), and I'm posed with an issue that needs to resolved without the usage of, say, components from T4.1 or T5. I've only been working with Tapestry for the last year, and I'm not too familiar with how to approach this.
We have a workflow for doing importing that, given larger sample sets, is a long-running process. It's run-times are well beyond the standard apache/web timeouts. And I'm looking for the correct approach in Tapestry to handle this. Ideally, I like the user to be able to submit a 'work-item' or job, and then allow the process to execute with an animated process icon or just spin off the process on a thread and rejoin it when it's complete. I know there is a Timeout component in the contrib library, but after reading the documentation, I'm not sure that really what I want. I'm looking for something long the lines of the "progress" animation you see on sites like Expedia, Orbitz, or those ilk (again, with the option of just detaching and returning when complete). I've searched around the mailing lists (through nabble, mark-mail, etc) trying to see if there is already an answer and I haven't managed any luck. I talked with my predecessor about it and he mentioned that he knew the facilities existed, but had not used them. So I was hoping at the very least someone might just link me to the documentation about how to do this. Thanks in advance.
