Hi Yoav, I have found that even if I terminate every connection of the servlet to the database and reload the servlet, the servlet still does not find the newly installed printer. I would think that after reloading the servlet all the classes that it had used would cease to exist. That is, any class that had been instantiated or used by the servlet would not remain instantiated after I reload the servlet.
So I am thinking that re-starting tomcat somehow makes Tomcat aware of the services that have been installed after Tomcat was started -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 10:00 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Servlet caching? Hi, The servlets by themselves do what you tell them to: you wrote them, after all ;) Tomcat doesn't provide any caching of response content by itself without special effort or configuration on your behalf. As Tim said, my guess is a utility class used by your servlet is doing the caching for the printer services list.
