jsp's and printing something in order

hello everyone:

I have a little problem with a JSP... bassically, this is all there's inside:

Code:

	out.println("Obteniendo");
	out.println("<script language=\"JavaScript\"> 
location.replace(\"faltantes.jsp?host=" + host + 
"&user=" + user + "&pass=" + pass + 
"&database=" + database +  "&inventario="
 + inventario + "\"); </script>");

the thing is, that the "faltantes" jsp points to a Java object doing quite a heavy job, maybe taking up to 3 minutes to finish and display a new page.... I'd like the user to see the message "Obteniendo" while he waits for the new page to load.

If I put a link to faltantes, and make the user click on it, then he will have to wait the 3 minutes and might be tempted to click on in again (since in this case, with a link, the page will wait for the next to load) so I'd like a link pointing to this jsp, and see the message while the job is doing in the background.... is that possible?

I would think that the order I'm printing on screen would define it... like, print the message, and wait for the next page to load.... is that so?

Thanks for everything

Try using a button instead of a link...using some javascript, you could probably get the button to be unclickable once the user has clicked it and display obteniendo on the button itself.
