| THIS IS A RESEND SINCE MODERATOR STOPPED LAST REPLY FOR 9KB OVER! --------------------------------------------- Or if you don't want to use concurrent request handling, you can dispatch this request in a thread of its own. That way the request generating this DA request gets completed and thus frees up the ap to answer the spun-off second request.
Here is a snippet example from a ScheduledTaskDetail WOComponent where I fire a direct action at my current development instance for testing scheduled task direct actions. devFireEvent is a simple component action invoked by a WOHyperlink and DevFireEvent is an inner class in the WOComponent class. the request associated with invoking devFireEvent completes and returns before the direct action request it spawned gets handled in the run() method of the inner class. Never mind the superfluous details ... but this gives you a way to do it without turning on Concurrent Request Handling if that is something you want not to do. ... note the httpConn.sendRequest and readResponse are in running in the separate thread......

Be careful of using this to call back into yourself (i.e. App A connecting back to App A). You want to make sure you have concurrent request handling turned on or you will deadlock yourself.
