Need to reload an XPage after a few seconds

I am trying to get an XPage to reload after 1 second but can't figure out the code to do it. Does anyone have an example on how to do this in XPages?

Solution

Use JavaScript's setTimeout() function in Client Side JavaScript code block <xp:scriptBlock to execute a reload after a second (1000 ms):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">
    <xp:scriptBlock id="scriptBlockReload">
        <xp:this.value>
        <![CDATA[
            setTimeout(function() {
                 location.reload();
            }, 1000)
        ]]>
        </xp:this.value>
    </xp:scriptBlock>
    <xp:text escape="true" id="computedField1">
        <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:new Date().getTime()}]]></xp:this.value>
    </xp:text>
</xp:view>

In case you just want to refresh a part of your XPage instead of reloading it completely you can replace

location.reload();

with

XSP.partialRefreshGet("#{id:computedField1}", {})

It will refresh computedField1 once after a second. It is up to you what kind of id you specify. It could be the id of a panel which includes several or even all components of your XPage.
