I would create a 2 panels of different colors. Place one inside the other. Make
the size of the inner panel a percentage of the outer panel. Place the outer
panel on the page as a long, narrow panel. How you do this depends on what
layout manager you are using. Then just resize the inner panel to indicate your
progress.
If you don't want to use an applet, you could create 10 images of a progress
bar, 0 - 100% in 10% increments and just rewrite the page with the appropriate
image.
You might also be able to use javascript rollovers triggered from the servlet
(I'm not sure that this would actually work, but you'd be suprised how complex
and interactive you can get with javascript).
