Hi all, I have a two part question and either answer should help me. I have a Java Servlet that uses static variables to store information used by several of the methods. It is called in a dynamic way by another Java Servlet, i.e. Sqlresult Report = new Sqlresult() where Sqlresult is my first servlet) The second Java Servlet is called by a JSP file using a tag library. Basically, the JSP is retaining data from the previous query even if the underlying database changes significantly. To make it look again, I have to stop and start the Tomcat 3.2 server...which is not really feasible. My questions are: How do you get the JSP to purge its servlet variables after displaying the information? or Any simple suggestions on how to make the results of one method available to several methods without updating static variables so the information won't be retained? Thanks in advance, Margaret ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
