[jsword-devel] Job names and internationalisation

[Chris Burrell]

The problem is that I don't have listeners, and I can't use that
functionality, since my web page can call back to my server much later. So
I need something to give to my webpage, to then be able to look up the
corresponding job later.

As far as I can see, the only data I can get out of JobManager is getJobs()
and this gives me Progress. And the only data from Progress is the job name.

I want to avoid having to change the state of the system, between two HTTP
requests. In other words, I want to keep the statelessness of HTTP by
simply sending back an ID of some sort.

Even using Listeners, I have to tie in some work listener from one request
to speak to a second request which is coming in. This presumably would have
to store some sort of cached map between the listeners and the version that
is being installed for instance.

It would be nicer if when a job gets kicked off, I get an ID, and then from
the ID I can simply lookup progress of that job.
