Are you sure they're not double-clicking the submission control? Are these
the kind of users who know the difference between a single-click and a
double-click?
Is it only happening with one user and not another? (Can you tell that from
your logs?)
(I find that many users single-click buttons and double-click anchors--I
guess, because that's the way Windows generally works--so I only use an
anchor if double-clicking doesn't have side-effects, like inserting two
records in a database.)

Subject: duplicate posts
I'm running Tomcat 3.2.1
I have a servlet that receives posted data from a client. Some times I
receive duplicate posts (the data is exactly the same...the message can't be
because of some unique attributes included with the data). The client claims
they are not sending duplicate messages so I'm wondering if any of you out
there have ever encountered this problem.
It doesn't happen all the time but it is happening. I have checked my
servlet log (stdout.log) and from my servlet's point of view I am receiving
2 separate distinct posts (time stamp is milliseconds apart).
Any advice?
Thanks,
Scott
