I am developing a front end to trigger a quartz job on the fly. I have a form in the JSF page whose click action will dynamically trigger a quartz job.

The job is invoked by the following statement, the job is triggered and everything works fine.

scheduler.triggerJob("Job1",Scheduler.DEFAULT_GROUP,jobDataMap);

From what I understand the job seems to run in a separate thread and the execution of the calling function does not wait for the job to be over.

Since I am invoking the job from front end, I would like to wait till the job is over before I navigate to a different JSF page. So I can display an error message if the job fails. I would also like to display a message to the user, "Processing job, please wait.." until the job is actually over.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this will be appreciated.

Thanks !
