Actually I have first.jsp which calls a second.servlet to process the form fields. It takes couple of minutes to process it. I want to display a message on first.jsp once submit button is pressed to wait until the second.servlet is processed and redirects to another JSP.

kennethxu

use option 2 then. instead of redirect to page2.jsp, just use URL=second.servlet. e.g.
first.jsp submit to second.jsp

second.jsp:
<%
// get necessary parameters and save then in session.
%>
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=servleturl">
</head>
<body>
please wait!
</body>
</html>

servlet:
get parameter form session stored by second.jsp. process and redirect to final.jsp

Modified version of mine and kennethxu's idea

page1.jsp

<%
if(session.getAttribute("refresh")!=null)
{
            //check whethere process is completed
            if(processcompleted)
            {
              session.removeAttribute("refresh");
            }
%>
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=page1.jsp">
</head>
<body>
please wait!
</body>
</html>
<%
}
else
{
%>
            <html>

            </html>
<%

}

%>

page2.jsp

<%
//process for your submission code
session.setAttribute("refresh","true");
response.sendredirect("page1.jsp");
%>

I don't want any points here It really does not matter but I believe that the answer I posted is as valid as any of the other ones, to tell the truth is faster and easier to implement, but....

Yes your code should work, you are right. Sorry I should have actually included you in the split. I hope a moderator will also award some points to you.

As I said Girionis I'm not interested on the points, just on giving solutions, but .... :c)
