Jack,
Why not just print() a message back to the page that got the request? You
can make its appearance conditional on something about the client input (my
example is != null, but this will only work the first time; could check for
something that will happen every time data is entered, or not happen every
time data is not entered). The following should add a message at the bottom
of whatever is already on the page, where <value> is set to something in
the client input:
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
PrintStream confirmation = new PrintStream(out);
if (value != null) confirmation.print("Please wait . . .");
Beast regards,
Dave J.

long time to be displayed due to processes done by the servlet, i want to
display that message so that the user will know that something is still
happening in the server. sendredirect method will not do, any other method?
Thanks
