Smooth update of information on jsp

hi all,

i'm developing the web app portion for a crowd management system. in a particular jsp page, i need to display information pertaining to the current crowd, hence it must be updated and reflected on the very page on real-time basis.

i know of an easy way; that is to set the meta-tag and let the refresh takes place automatically. however, my "fussy" client doesn't like the idea of that page gets flicker on every refresh. they prefer to view a "smooth" transition of information being updated.

any idea, guys?

thanks in advance!
