A simple solution is to use SimpleDateFormat (with a format of "mm.ss"). I would perhaps do this on the server and provide the JSP with a pre-rendered value.

Beware that this class isn't thread-safe and a better alternative is available via Joda-Time

Too bad.. its too easy..

 x = input/ 1000;
    minutes = x % 60;
    seconds = x - ( minutes * 60 )

This will be faster than using SimpleDateFormat

you should divide by 1000 first for minutes. – tom Jan 11 '13 at 12:26
You still need to print/format this. It's precisely for these reasons that I advocate using libs wherever possible. – Brian Agnew Jan 11 '13 at 12:27
Yes I agree with Brian; if you are particular that output should be 08:07 ; then its better to use SimpleDateFormat. – Deepak Singhal Jan 11 '13 at 12:28
