hi all, i am writing a module that needs to refresh itself, inorder to populate the HTML elements with table data. I donot want the form to be refreshed and therefore am using Hidden Servlet, the Servlet forms a part of my Frame but has not space allocated on the Browser window, such that it operates invisibly and gets the data from the backend and populates the visible form elements through a JavaScript statement (being fired explicity, once it has data from the table). Although it works fine and gives me the desired results, it poses a unique problem, i.e. if i don't use the Browser window for some time and activate it after some time, the data doesn't gets populated (although the Hidden Servlet does gets invoked !). Although as i said above i haven't allocated any space to the Hidden Servlet on my Brower window, i did allocate 5% of space once and got the following text from 'View Source' Option: <html><head><title>500 Internal Server Error</title></head> <h1>500 Internal Server Error</h1><body> <P>The servlet named CciCashAllocateHidden at the requested URL <blockquote> <a href="http://localhost:8080/servlet/CciCashAllocateHidden";>http://localhost:8080/servlet/CciCashAllocateHidden</a></blockquote> reported this exception: java.lang.ClassCastException. Please report this to the administrator of the web server.<p><em><blockquote> java.lang.ClassCastException at CciCashAllocateHidden.service(Compiled Code) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(Compiled Code) at com.sun.server.ServletState.callService(Compiled Code) at com.sun.server.ServletManager.callServletService(Compiled Code) at com.sun.server.http.servlet.InvokerServlet.service(InvokerServlet.java:137) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(Compiled Code) at com.sun.server.ServletState.callService(Compiled Code) at com.sun.server.ServletManager.callServletService(Compiled Code) at com.sun.server.ProcessingState.invokeTargetServlet(ProcessingState.java:423) at com.sun.server.http.HttpProcessingState.execute(HttpProcessingState.java:79) at com.sun.server.http.stages.Runner.process(Runner.java:79) at com.sun.server.ProcessingSupport.process(Compiled Code) at com.sun.server.Service.process(Service.java:204) at com.sun.server.http.HttpServiceHandler.handleRequest(HttpServiceHandler.java:374) at com.sun.server.http.HttpServiceHandler.handleRequest(Compiled Code) at com.sun.server.HandlerThread.run(Compiled Code) </blockquote></em> <p> </body></html> Do i face the above problem, bcoz the object is destroyed by the Garbage Collector ?
