The OS is RHEL4. Tomcat is 5.0.28. The 'particular function' is a little hard to explain. It's just an area of the program where you configure certain parameters that control workflow in your medical practice, such as how long a default patient visit lasts. This area has a different look and feel than the rest of the program, and has all the earmarks of having been written by a programmer that no longer works for the vendor. :-)
The bottom line is that when I access this section, sometimes I get errors with scripts on the page. I had a theory that the problem was with cached data, so I changed the way the load balancer distributes requests. Now the LB always sends subsequent requests from a particular source IP to whichever tomcat server was selected for the first request, and the errors have gone away. I believe this indicates that my theory was correct, so now I'm looking for a way to disable caching of anything in the tomcat/work directory. Isn't there a simple, global way to tell tomcat not to cache? -- Eric Robinson -----Original Message----- From: Pid [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2007 6:00 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Newbie Question: How to Disable Caching?

Or is that just a stupid question? (OS, tomcat version, etc, please) It depends on what the data is and how it got there; can you enlighten us as to what is the 'particular function'? If the application (rather than the server) is writing data to the work dir, then that's the component that needs fixing (by storing the data in a database perhaps). p > -- > Eric Robinson > > > > > Disclaimer - May 8, 2007 > This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for Tomcat Users List.
