I suspect your miles of base I'ed need to see the full jsp code and exactly what you intended, I suspect you don't want to create thread at all, what is your thread trying to do ? The jsp compilation errors don't match up with your code fragment.

Do you want a web page with an updating time ? Do you want your web page to pull the time from the server reqularly or just display the time statically (once) at startup.

I suspect this should really be posted in one of the web forums.

Hi chris,
iam developing games in jsp, in this game iam showing crossword & player has to find out the correct names & submit through input box. but my moto is that player has to find these names from the crosswords in some time limit.
so i want to show timer of 5 min. & player has to find maximum names within 5 min outerwise player will loose the game.
I already code that generate Bollywood Crosswords on browser & now i just need to show 5 min time limit.
complete code without timer:

<body>
<%


String gameId=request.getParameter("gameId");
if(gameId==null)
gameId="start";
String moves=request.getParameter("moves");
if(moves==null)
moves="0";
int gmoves=Integer.parseInt(moves);


String row1[]={"K","A","R","E","E","N","A","H"};
String row2[]={"O","A","C","D","E","F","G","H"};
String row3[]={"Y","B","J","D","E","F","G","H"};
String row4[]={"L","B","C","O","E","F","G","H"};
String row5[]={"A","B","C","D","L","F","G","H"};


String corrAns[]={"Abhi","shah","amir","salmaan","kajol","amrita","tabu","madhuri"};


String userAns=request.getParameter("userAns");
if(userAns==null || (userAns!=null && userAns.equals("")))
userAns="-";



int answer=0;
if(!userAns.equals("-"))
{
int index;
for(index=0;index<corrAns.length;index++)
{
if(corrAns[index].equals(userAns))
{ %>

<b>Good! Correct Answer</b><br/>
<% }
}

if(!corrAns[index].equals(userAns))
{ %>

<b>Sorry! Wrong Answer.</b><br/>

<% }
}




%>

I haven't looked at the code, but anything complicated enough to use threads should not be done in a JSP (which is just for generating an HTML view, not for running any computations). Use servlets instead.

ok, you definitely DON'T want a thread, assuming you want to do this with JSP and not an applet what would be another solution (in which case you could have java and threads) . The problem with a thread in your case is you want it to work client side not server side.

Looks like you need some javascript embedded in your jsp, you add javascript to your jsp in the same way you add html. (note there are sure to be clock stype javascripts libs out there you could just use)

Using the window.setTimeout method you can call back a javascript method at a given time interval say every few seconds and then adjust the clock i.e. if the the time was a static bit of text you set the text to the new time and the browser will automatically show the result obviously if time > 5 mins then you set the text to time. (you could alternatively use a server clock via refreshes or AJax requests but thats just overkill)

There is bound to loads of examples of this kind of thing on the net my books are full of them
