Re-reading your question, I think that in your case, you would want to have
the page delivering the "Wait" message actually return a progress status
(however you want to measure it) from a worker thread that is calculating
the data, and refresh back to itself, until the data is ready, when it would
refresh to a servlet that delivers the data.
