Thanks for the tip.  That one actually is using javascript to refresh the
page, but you could just as easily do a meta tag to refresh the page as
well.

Unfortunately, any AJAX implementation will require JavaScript. You can
replace this with a standard JSP implementation, but you will have a lot of
"Flicker" as your page updates. You will also have to keep all information
that is displayed on your page in the session or request which can chew up
your bandwidth on heavly used sites.

Technique for undetermined time of processing - progress bar









Sorry for the vague subject.  I've got a situation where I need to do some
processing before moving a user to a specific page.  The processing could be
very fast or very long.  I'd like to have some kind of a progress bar type
meter than can show how much time is left.  I will know for sure the exact
time it will take to process, and I can retrieve that at the beginning of
the processing.  When processing is done I want to go to a different url.
Has anyone done anything like this before, and if so what were the best ways
you found of accomplishing this?

Thanks,
David
