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: −
Auto Refresh Header Example
Current Time is: 9:44:50 PM
