i've got a servlet running in a frame window.

in certain situations, i'd like to redirect the user to
a new page...complete new frame.

in html it would be done with the TARGET attribute.
<A HREF="/new-url" TARGET="_parent">New link</A>

is this possible in a servlet.

no. HTTP is a simple request/response protocol: you ask for a file, you get it. The client knows where to put it, not the server. A servlet is no exception.
You have to redirect to a middle page that will have the task to remove the frame.
