Folks, I have a single servlet, ReportDispatcher, that serves up a wide variety of reports, some of which are drill-downs from a parent. The parent report is created by a POST to the servlet from a range selection UI. Unfortunately, after you go to a drill-down report and then hit the Back button, IE and Netscape both give a "Page Expired" warning and force you to repost. This has the additional unfortunate side-effect of requerying the database.
Is there a way to avoid this? I've found a few things on the web, but they simply say "Don't POST". A GET is a bit impractical, however, since I may be sending a list of, say, 50-100 departments to include in the query. I tried the archives, but if there's anything there is must be under far different search terms than I am using (Page Expired Warning Java servlet HTTP POST). Is GET the only way out here? I have tried setting the page expiration, to no avail. Thanks in advance. == Ross == ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
