Help on refreshing...

Question

I am using the code from
http://jeffkemponoracle.blogspot.com/2006/10/apex-tip-page-auto-refresh.html
It works great when my form opens up( i can see the curser moving every 60 sec). let me explain the problem.
my application is a simple one, one page, a button and 10 text boxes.
it runs one process that calls an oracle package. the code in the process apex section is like this
select 'Process one started' into :p1_text from dual;
run_package.first_stored_procedure;
select 'Process one completed' into :p1_test from dual;
select 'Process two started' into :p1_text from dual;
run_package.second_stored_procedure;
and so on.
what i get is press button, no freshing... then when all is done. the last procedure finished, no active refresh....
Thanks,
Doug

hi there
thank you for your help
here is what my table does, the program connects to the database, retreive data and populate the table every two seconds to reflect the changes in the database. here is the run method that does the connecting and ...
public void run()
boolean okay = true;
boolean updated = false;
String strSQL = "sql statment"
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(".....")
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(strSQL);
while (okay)
rs = ps.executeQuery();
//code to query the database.....
tablemodel = (DefaultTableModel)jTable.getModel();
//code to repaint the table......
Thread.sleep(1000);
}catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe){
}catch (SQLException sqle) {
}catch (InterruptedException e){
okay = false;
}catch (Exception ee){
System.out.println("Exception:" + ee.getMessage());
what can tablemodel do for this kind of task?
