Hi ! I think in your scenario a message queue would be helpful: -in the server a queue is configured. -when the session bean method is called it starts pushing status messages to the queue -the client registers to the "other end" of the queue and receives the messages, until some "Finished" message arrives. Does this help ? Wolfgang View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4002233#...
