Server side redirect (301) - JSP :: How to set time delay before page redirect using

[Suresh Gopi]

Hello Friends,

I want to show one page for 5 seconds and after that i want to redirect the page to another URL.

Got the code snippet for 301 redirection in JSP .

<%

response.setStatus(301);

response.setHeader( "Location", "http://www.new-url.com/" );

response.setHeader( "Connection", "close" );

%>


Please let me know how to set the time delay.

Is there any way to set the time delay using response.setHeader() method.

Note: I checked the possible HTTP response headers but couldn't find one to acheive this.

The above can be acheived using meta tag or script language but i want to do it in server side.

Is it possible?
