[Webware-discuss] Caching

[Matt F. <ma...@pa...>]

I have two questions related to caching.

1. How can I get a servlet to NOT cache itself? The behavior I want is to
have the servlet re-execute, to gather possibly new state information.

I'm making a graph from a log file, and it should update (re-execute) if the
log has changed. If you hit the servlet a second time, it just shows the old
graph.

2. What is the most correct way to tell the /browser/ not to cache a given
URL? I know of a couple of ways, left over from my old .asp days, but I
wondered what the best webware way is.

These seem to be fairly fundamental issues; if I can gather good info, I'll
put it on the wiki.

Thanks!
