Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

hi,

i have form which when submiited calls
a jsp which inserts the form values in the database. the jsp takes time to
execute , till then i want a message to be displayed in the browser saying "processing..." .

i have tried using an intermediate page
which displays the message and then uses
the meta refresh tag and urlDelay variable to forward it to the jsp page.

this works , but the problem is , now there is a middle page between my form and my jsp page , so now i have to pass my form values twice,

once to the middle page which has the meta tag , then to the actual jsp page which inserts in database.

is there anyway , where i can submit the form and
call the jsp page directly and tht page only should display the message till the jsp page is executing.

i doubt this may work cause the jsp engine executes the entire page and displays the results. but till it executes i want a message to be displayed without a middle page being used, so i dont have to pass the parameters twice..

pls help

thx a million
