Nick,
If I understand what you are trying to do is to put an intermediate page
that let's the viewer know that a long background operation is happening and
to not do anything in the mean time (don't click back, etc.). Something
similar to when you submit a form on a travel site and await ticketing info
to be eventually returned.
The simple solution may to be to build this page (the Component that
displays the "hey, just keep waiting" msg) to be the one to actually perform
the submission - so it would stay there until the server returns the
lengthily requested page of data. So instead of:
Component with request --> (long wait) --> Returned page
...you could have...
Component with request --> (pass request operation into another Component
that is the "please hold on and don't hit back" that actually does the
submission) --> Returned page
Hope this helps,
-Bill
