I think you're missing the point of what people have already told you to do.
What they have suggested will work.
Here's the idea, I suppose your structure in general is that servlet A
forwards to A.jsp, or maybe it can forward to A,B and C.jsp, whatever.
In our example we'll suppose that is the servlet that is going to do the
time consuming process.
So here what you do is that from A you forward to A.jsp, which prints out
"loading" and has a meta refresh that reloads on servlet *B*.
A continues to process. A's job now is to process until the results come
back, and upon the completion of the results, will put bean Bar into the
session.
Servlet B's job now is to look for bean Bar in the session. If it's not
there, it just forwards back to A.jsp, which reissues the "loading" message,
and will, after some time, hit servlet B again.
When B finds bean Bar in the session (meaning that both A has completed it's
processing and that A.jsp has meta-refreshed back to B), then it forwards to
B.jsp, which contains the display logic for bean Bar.
Got it?
