Put your processing in a background thread.  Put a META Refresh tag in your HTML to refresh a monitoring servlet priodically. If the processing is not done, the monitoring servlet returns the same refresh tag, else it forwards/redirects to the real data you want to show.
 
Or you could load an applet and use it to maintain contact with the servlet (I know it can be done, but I don't have the details.)
