Another idea would be to use forward to forward them to a temp page. The
servlet would still have control and could finish working and then forward
or redirect to the final page.

Here's another possibility:
Send a response and display something like "Working Please wait" and
continually flush out a little bit of text at a time like "....." during
processing. When you're done processing, you could display a javascript
call like the following.
<script language="javascript">
window.location="theOtherPage.jsp"
</script>
Of course, you'll want to make sure not to enclose the message inside a
table. Typically, a browser won't display a table until it has all of it.
