Displaying a Jenkins like "Getting ready to work" message in a web page when application is starting up

[James Selvakumar]

Hi all,

First of all I would like to thank the community for all the help offered
in the past. Thank you very much.

My application (Wicket + Spring + Hibernate) takes around 60 to 90 seconds
to startup and all the user has to see is an empty browser tab when the
application is starting up.
I've observed Jenkins displaying a familiar "Getting ready to work" message
when it starts up.
I've seen some Atlassian products even displaying what's happening behind
the hood during startup.
Can someone explain how to do something similar with Wicket?

Hi,

You are very welcome!

Since you use Spring I'd recommend you to check this article+demo app:
https://github.com/nurkiewicz/spring-startup-progress
It should give you an idea how to do it.
