One possibility: Use Ajax to call the servlet that will do the processing and initialize it doing its work. Have the servlet doing the processing update a status in some database table tied to the userid/sessionid as it does the processing (or use the session object for this). Poll another servlet with Ajax to retrieve the status from that table (or session object).
