通过XMLHttpRequest从服务端获取数据，并以表格方式进行展现，代码如下：
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*" pageEncoding="gbk"%>
<%
String path = request.getContextPath();
String basePath = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()+":"+request.getServerPort()+path+"/";
response.setHeader("Pragma","No-Cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","No-Cache");
response.setHeader("Expires","0");
%>
