BEFORE YOU POST, search the faq at <http://java.apache.org/faq/>
WHEN YOU POST, include all relevant version numbers, log files,
and configuration files. Don't make us guess your problem!!!

Methinks that I pharsed the problem very badly.
I have a static (ECS) generated page with say 3 images in it. Each of these
images have say 3000 data points in them. Each image is generated from the data
passed to them. Basically can I do a get with 3000 variables without problems or
is data of that size left for post (I know it is a bit of an elementry question).
