How to refresh a JSP page at regular interval?



Following example would use setIntHeader() method to set Refresh header to simulate a digital clock −

<%@ page import = "java.io.*,java.util.*" %> <html>    <head>       <title>Auto Refresh Header Example</title>    </head>    <body>       <center>          <h2>Auto Refresh Header Example</h2>          <%             // Set refresh, autoload time as 5 seconds             response.setIntHeader("Refresh", 5);             // Get current time             Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();             String am_pm;             int hour = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR);             int minute = calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);             int second = calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND);             if(calendar.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == 0)                am_pm = "AM";             else                am_pm = "PM";             String CT = hour+":"+ minute +":"+ second +" "+ am_pm;             out.println("Current Time is: " + CT + "\n");          %>       </center> </body> </html>

Now put the above code in main.jsp and try to access it. This will display the current system time after every 5 seconds as follows. Run the JSP. You will receive the following output: −
