Try using JavaScript to pop up a little please wait window when the form is
submitted. I believe the JavaScript event is onSubmit.
You could also use scripts to change the content of the page submitting the
form. Either way should work and not require the server to use any more
processing power.

Subject: waiting page...
> Hi,
> I have a page, when the user click the process button, it will go to
the
> servlet to do the process. The process may take some times, so I want to
> show a waiting page tell user the request is processing, please
wait...etc.
> After the process is finish, the waiting page will automatically go to the
> result page.
> Anyone know how to do it?
>
> I have 2 solutions, but I don't think there are good. First solution is
> using <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=<%=url%>">
> To decalre the url, I need to do
> <%
> String serverip = request.getServerName();
> String serverport = String.valueOf(request.getServerPort());
> String url = "http://"+serverip+":"+serverport+"/servlet/Controller";
> %>
> because I cannot hard code the server url, so I don't like these.

> Second solution is using javascript setInterval function to auto submit
the
> form. but this only work in IE, not in netscape. So I can't use it.

> Please tell me any others good solution.
