How to call a repeater within a jsp file in web portal

Question

Hello, I wrote a Timer javascript to create a Timer thread that keep running and repeating for every 5 seconds. Basically, this javascript includes a StartTimer(), StopTimer() and UpdateTimer(), I also have a repeater to retrieve data from Oracle Dataabse and diplay them on the screen. Here are the codes
=======================================================
<table border="1">
<netui-data:repeater dataSource="{pageFlow.trackData}" >
<netui-data:repeaterHeader>
<tr>
<!-- create row header for each column -->
<td style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:14pt;color:#0000ff;">TrackNumber</td>
<td style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:14pt;color:#0000ff;">Latitude</td>
<td style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:14pt;color:#0000ff;">Longitude</td>
<td style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:14pt;color:#0000ff;">Altitude</td>
<td style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:14pt;color:#0000ff;">Course</td>
<td style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:14pt;color:#0000ff;">Speed</td>
<td style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:14pt;color:#0000ff;">Time</td>
</tr>
</netui-data:repeaterHeader>
<tr>
<netui-data:repeaterItem>
<!-- these will make the repeater insert data in table rows -->
<td><netui:label value="{container.item}" defaultValue=" "></netui:label></td>
<% j = j + 1; %>
<% if (j > 6) { %>
</tr>
<% j = 0; %>
<tr>
<% } %>
</netui-data:repeaterItem>
</tr>
</netui-data:repeater>
</table>
====================================================
I also wrote another Timer running in the server side. here are the codes
======================================================
<%!
public void startTimer(HttpServletRequest request)
Timer timer = new Timer();
TimerTask monitorTimerTask = new Monitor();
timer.schedule(monitorTimerTask, 5000, 5000);
request.getSession().setAttribute("My Timer", monitorTimerTask);
System.out.println("Timer starts");
%>
<%!
public class Monitor extends TimerTask
public void run()
%>
<%!
public void stopTimer(HttpServletRequest request)
TimerTask monitor = (TimerTask) request.getSession().getAttribute("My Timer");
if (monitor != null)
System.out.println("Timer stops");
monitor.cancel();
%>
<% if (request.getParameter("start") != null)
startTimer(request);
%>
<% if (request.getParameter("stop") != null)
stopTimer(request);
%>
<input type="button" value="Start the Timer" onclick="document.location='index.jsp?start=true'">
<input type="button" value="Stop the Time" onclick="document.location='index.jsp?stop=true'">
======================================================
My question is how do (can I) call those codes repeater above within the StartTimer() in Javascript or the funtion run() in the class Monitor, which will will be called continuously every 5 seconds, whenever I click on the button Start. Right now, it seems to me that whenever the portal starts, then those repeater codes are executed just once and are not executed when I click on the start button to call the start() in javascripts/run() in the class Monitor.
PS. I include the codes for two different Timers but in my portal there is only one Timer and I can pick one of those, whichever works better. Please help
Thank you

It might compile perfectly well, but the message suggests that you didn't deploy it properly. The class loader can't find it.
That .class file should appear with its package directory structure under the WEB-INF/classes directory or in a JAR in your WEB-INF/lib directory in some WAR file. Does it?
