Hi. I have the following problem (using tomcat version 3.1). I have multiple frames in my front end. I am listening for asynchronous messages coming across a socket from an exogenous server process. In order to receive these messages and display them I use a repost to a servlet. I have a threaded socket listener which is instantiated in a servlet, bound to the session object to keep it alive and accessed by the jsps (I don't know if this is a reliable mechanism but for the moment I'm implementing it). I have a bottom frame which contains the forms submitted and it is the hub of control. It displays all messages to the user, with the exception of one kind, which should cause the main frame to be updated and a status table to be shown to the user. However, the main frame is unable to access beans -because only the bottom frame is actually forwarded to by the RequestDispatcher, therefore it is the only one which can access the bean successfully (at least this is what my attempts seem to prove- for example, I popup the session id in each of the frames and the only one which matches the servlet's session id is the bottom frame). Does anybody know how I could get the main frame to also access the same instance of the socket-listening bean? (i've tried using jsp:usebean with session as scope and although this works for the bottom frame, it doesn't for the main one) >From the bottom frame I could set a hidden variable in the main frame using javsacript, but is displaying this in the form of a table possible (I believe that JSP scriptlets cannot access html variables, so for example, if the list to be displayed was 8 long, how would the scriptlet know that?) Does anyone have any suggestions about how to do this? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
