Try using a Thread.sleep( long millis ) , ie; 1000 * 60 * 5 = 5 min.

while ( cont == true )
{
        try
        {
                Thread.sleep( 1000 * 60 * 5 ); //5 minutes
                // ,,, the db.axx code and all that goes with it.
        }
        catch ( InterruptedException )
        {
                //discontinue loop or contact starfleet hq.
        }
}

why would you like to be sending the data to a jsp-file every five minutes?
do you intended to automatically reload the page every five minutees? in
that case, you may simply accomplish that with javascript.
