I have an action in which I send a request to a web service. The web service takes FOREVER to respond and my users are waiting ages to get a response back from us.
The web page that I display to the user is NOT dependent upon the response from the web service. I’d like my request to the web service to be deferred/asynchronous so that my users don’t have to wait for the roundtrip to the web service.
What should I do? What’s the best way to handle this?
Thanks for your help!
