Does anyone have any ideas as to what it might take to add a progress
indicator for the status of a generating report? Many of our reports take a
long time to process, and it would be nice to be able to get some feedback
as to approximately how close they are to finishing.

1) You can launch the progress bar once you trigger the report generation
using asynchronized browser xml http request as in web viewer. Then rely
on xml http request's call back mechanism to turn it off.

2) You can also launch the progress bar by some server side jsp/servlet
code and periodically check the report generation status by setting
refreshing intervals in the browser.

1 is better than 2.

That's great! I didn't realize that the web viewer already had the ability
to return the report generation status. Is there any documentation on this?
