java tomcat6 - How to automatically refresh page when a data is added?

first of all let me explain what Im tring to do. Im trying to create a very simple web based chat program. In my development I have 2 pcs using only 1 ip address. The ip address that is being used is the ip address which runs the tomcat6 server. The simple chat is connected to the database. How will I make the web page automatically update when the other pc input data(message) in the database without reloading the page.

Please forgive me if my question might sound idiotic. I have no experience in chat program. Please help.

You can try webSockets. Its a new feature in html5. It allows you to do full duplex communication. Its very simple. You will have to do both client side and server side. For doing the server side you will need tomcat 7.0.32. It contains a new WebSocketServlet. These links may help you..
