Fairly new to using servlet and not totally familiar with client-server technology. Looking for a way to do the following:
-User clicks a link that leads to a servlet.
-While that servlet is loading, the server send to the user a temporary message page indicating: Please wait while the server loads the page.
-When the server is finished all server side processing and is ready to push the page, the server then replaces the temporary message page with the user-requested page.
Not sure how to implement. Any help would be great.

Brand new to the unix env...
Messing around in the config files and can't seem to make sense of it all.
Anybody out there sucessfully installed ImageMagick on solaris?
Let me know, any help would be awesome.

Using java1.2.2. The only api I could find for manipulating images is jpeg encoder and MediaTracker Toolkit. MediaTracker Toolkit requires a component window but I am rendering the image to an off-screen buffer, hoping to eliminate any window interaction. So I have decided to use JPEG encoder to read and write images. A couple of questions:
1) Is the JPEG encoder and MediaTracker Toolkit the only ways to read and write images?
2) I can deal with using just the JPEG encoder, but I need some java program or api that will convert all image formats into JPEGs. Any ideas?
Thanks

My error is java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ":0.0" as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

Attempting to read in an image via JPEG encoder, resize, and save the image to a disk. This is done in a class called on the server side. JServ is complaining about needing a window. Anyone know of a way to render an image without using Graphics 2D or without a window?

Matt, is there anyway that you can elaborate on your suggestion? Thanks for the help.

I am a college student working at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). I have a question that maybe someone can answer or perhaps can show me where I can possibly find an answer.

I am running a scenario that involves multiple beans with multiple message passing. Is there a way for two beans to send the same event at the same time. I believe that the use of the Java thread can perform this task, but I am not sure how to set it up. I want multiple beans to be able to launch multiple event concurrently. Java seams to work very sequentially and I have not been able to organize events so that they run parallel.

Does anyone have any advice. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jesse Elder
