Thanks! The analysis is excellent and the information is just what we needed. The problem is that there is a limit on how long an URL can be. This is different from browser to browser. It can also be affected by what the server can handle and if there are any proxys the request is passing through. If found this link which has investigated some limitations:
http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html If you are using IE this would explain why the URL gets truncated. Obviously the problem needs to be fixed on the BASE side. We should not generate URLs that are as long as this. In the meantime I see only two possible workarounds: 1) Don't display too many columns. The limit of 62 may become lower if you are filtering since the filter string(s) will also be added to the URL. 2) Try to use Firefox instead. This option will of course only work if the web server, proxies, etc. also supports longer URLs. /Nicklas Johan van Heerden wrote: > Thanks for the rapid response! > > I managed to sort the second problem out, it seems > that an increase in the memory allocated to Tomcat > solved it...all samples are now found! > > With regards to the termination of my session when > working on the main Samples page (with +/- 85 > annotation fields visible).
