Yes, I did this. But the problem looks to me like the server is caching the page and not the client. Because, when you access the servlet directly it refreshes the content just fine, but when you access it through the jsp page that forwards the request it never changes after the first request.

I did not see the other posts, but anytime I have a problem with issues like this I use a meta tag to make the page expire some time ago. I usually put stuff like this: <META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Tue, 2 OCT 1996 17:45:00 GMT"> in my head. There is also a header which you can set in your jsp/servlet code of the same name (Expires)..that is what the HTTP-EQUIV does. Says in this html take this to be the same as an http header and use it as such. Hope that helps, Wade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 1:14 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Help root context problem!!! Well, I got it to work, but I don't care for it. I'd like to know what's wrong if someone knows. Here's the jsp below: <% java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(request.getRequestURL().append("/PageWorks/servlet/PageMill ").toString()); java.net.URLConnection connect = url.openConnection(); connect.connect(); java.io.BufferedReader in = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(connect.getInputStream())); String html; while((html = in.readLine()) != null){ out.write(html); } %> This works, but it's not very pretty of a method. Why doesn't the <jsp:forward/> work? This way it doesn't cache the page forever on the server. If I just us jsp:forward it caches the page and never update it's information from the servlet.
