the cache of Tomcat is in %TOMCAT_HOME%/work/*. If the stylesheet doesn't change the cache isn't invalidated. It's probable that the change in the result of the extension function does also not invalidate the cache. If you don't need the date in the browser, why do you use an XSLT extension instead of a simple PrintTimeToConsoleAction, which is called on every request? So the cache of the XSLT can be reused and you will get your correct date/time though.

Hi all!
We have a problem when we are running Cocoon from Tomcat. We are using the latest stable versions of both.
The problem arises with refreshing the http request to Cocoon. From our xsl stylesheet we call a very simple Java Extension that prints out the date to the command line - or in our case- to the console that Tomcat is running in. When we run this from Internet Explorer, the date will only be displayed (ie the java extension has been called) if that URL has not been previously supplied to Cocoon.
In the sitemap we can put in anything after the "/cocoon" part of the URL for the XSL to run. If we send the URL "/cocoon/one" the first time, the date is printed out. If we press refresh, or even if we close down IE and then restart IE AND tomcat and use the same URL then the date is not printed out. If we use a different URL such as "/cocoon/two" then the date is printed out.
What complicates the issue, however, is that it is not an issue of the cache of IE. We have also called Cocoon by using an http request from a simple java app. Even when we quit the app, and restart it, it is literally hit and miss if the date is printed out again with the same URL. Sometimes it is and sometimes not.
We are therefore really confused as to why this happens. It can't be the cache of IE (it also happens in Netscape, BTW) and it certainly isn't the cache of Java. It must be the "cache" or something similiar in either Tomcat or Cocoon.
Our question is obviously what is the problem, and how do we go about solving it?
Thank you very much for your help

PS we will be pleased to supply code snippets, but we think that any case as described above will cause the problem
