That brings you back to the same problem - loading time of the second page
- which will remain the same.
In the above solution, you've just added one additional page to your
application, which neither brings down the time of execution of the actual
application (ur 2nd page) nor gives a 'while loading' solution. Know what I
mean ?
One way I can think of doing this, is to pop up a window using JavaScript
(which says 'Pls wait..loading page" and has some action going on to
distract the user) and then insert some more JavaScript code towards the
very end of your second (jsp) page, which will close the earlier popup window.
So, when the second JSP page has fully loaded - which means it just
finished executing the JavaScript towards the very end (just before the
</BODY> tag) in the page - the page-end JavaScript will fire and close down
your earlier pop up window.
This is the first solution that came to my mind. Hope this helps.
Would be interesting to see what ideas others come up with.
My 2 cents worth,
