Hi Jeff,
I checked the function on another platform with a slightly different javadx
and did not replicate the problem and I initially doubt it has crept in.
You probably did simple tests, but these are what occur to me:
Is the filename the same? If so the browser is likely satisfying the
showdocument() command from cache, hence the same picture. I had thought the
filename has a suffix that was to be incrementing to prevent this cache
behavior, since for identical urls we weren't able to turn caching off
reliably cross-platform.
Is the filename incrementing? Check the java console for messages such as
AppletClient: couldn't load output/1_4.0.0.gif
which might indicate the client requested the gif before it was visible to
httpd. We thought we solved the synchronization issues.
Are the latest images actually visible (e.g. umask) to httpd?
Here's hoping it turns out to be simple,
Regards,
Pete
