I converted an exam administration system from Perl/CGI to Servlets. I 
tested 
it (with small sample exams) and everything seemed to work fine. In 
production, however, it intermittantly truncates Session data
(students' answers are posted and a servlet gets the posted data, puts it 
into 
a session and puts up a screen asking the student whether that is their 
Final 
answer. 

 Unfortunately, some answers are truncated. I think it is the form-data itself 
that is being truncated. This only happens when the 
servlet is already running at the time that the exam is posted. The very first 
time it runs (i.e., the first time an exam is posted after the server is 
started) the servles handles the form correctly.

A kludgy fix would be to have the servlet killed after each exam but

A. I don't know how to do this
B. there must be a better way.

Any suggestions?
