title: Multithreading a jsp?
body: <p>I'm new to jersey, jsp's and web application development in general so hopefully this isn't a silly question. I've got a <code>jsp</code> and currently when the user hits a button on it, it starts a   HTTP request which takes about 5-10 minutes to return. Once it finishes they're redirected to another page. </p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering, is it possible or even advisable that I multithread the application so that the heavy processing will start but the user get's redirected to the next .jsp right away. If multithreading is not possible is there another method that you would recommend for dealing with heavy processing in a web application?</p>
