You have to do this using JavaScript on the client side... as the servlet has no control over the page once it is presented to the user's browser.

ok!! then can you please let me know how can i encorporate javascript code on servlets.?
Well,
  Are you displaying the HTML via a Servlet (out.print) or JSPs?

  I can write a JavaScript that will start a timer.. and after 60 seconds... it will expire and refresh the page (the servlet should handle providing the new data).. the timer will only expire if the page still exists (i.e. next or any button wasn't pressed for that time)

Is that what you want?

CJ
