Thanks. But how can the client side know when the task is complete ? I tried to set a persistent field just after the task is complete but Tapestry throws an exception saying that it can't persist the field, probably because it's getting executed inside a thread. I have the client side polling the server side for any kind of signal that the task is over, but i can't quite figure out out to give that information to the client.
