Does anyone know how to print out a loading tag in a servlet while something
is loading then displaying the content when it's ready? Is it something like
out.write instead of out.println?

No. That won't work. A JS based library like ..Ajax(?)
might be able to achieve something for you. The only other
options are things like redirecting the visitor to a
'processing..' page that refreshes each few seconds, and
to replace it with the results when they are ready.

You might do it with client side code either an Applet or JavaScript.
