HI I have noticed some bizarre behavior when using a URL and URLConnection to download an XML file from a tomcat webapp... I am finding that I get the OLD content (cached?) rather than the new content even though the file has chaned. I wrote a simple java program so there is no browser in the middle - write to the file - read content - write new content - second read of content the second read always returns the first content when tested under Tomcat but when testing on an Apache web server this problem does not happen as the new content is always returned. If a pause of 5 seconds is inserted between the first read and the write of the new content, the latst data is obtained by the second read... however, a pause of 1 second still reveals the old content Does the tomcat cache mechanism need a few seconds before it realizes that a file has changed?? In any case, I wanted to look at the tomcat code to see where the server proceses the HTTP GET request is handled... can somone point me to this code? thanks,
