I'm wondering if it is possible to return multiple responses/pages from a
given request?
I have a servlet that performs some processing after a form is submitted to
it. This processing sometimes takes several seconds to complete. What I want
to do is first display a page which says "Processing your request, please
wait..." Then, after the processing is done, I want to display another page.
The second page should replace the first page in the user's browser.
Does anyone know if this is possible to do? I want to say that at some point
someone told me that you can do this with "multi-part" something-or-other?
Basically, I want to do something like the following, but, it doesn't work.
resp.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter pw = resp.getWriter();
pw.println("<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body>");
pw.println("<p>Please wait...</p>
");
pw.println("</body></html>");
pw.close();
Thread.sleep(10000);
resp.setContentType("text/html");
pw = resp.getWriter();
pw.println("<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body>");
pw.println("<p>Processing completed...</p>");
pw.println("</body></html>");
pw.close();
