Other alternatives which you should consider...
1) Deploy an applet that displays the information that you expect to
change. Then you can manage how often the applet checks for changes and
refreshes its own view. The implication is that your users will require to
have a JRE installed.

Nick,
I like this idea. Do you know of any examples that
make use of this concept? What code would I use
(generically) to have the invisible frame force a
resubmit on the viewable frame?
Have you ever worked with pushlets? Are they worth

thanks,

Jeff,
The refresh request has to come from the user-agent. There is a tag that
you can emit into your section to cause the user-agent to refresh the
page periodically.
Alternatively, if you had an applet, you could have the applet communicate
with the server, and the applet could force a refres

So in effect you divide it into 2 pages: the original data diplay page and

Hi Jeff --
Once your jsp outputs its data, its job is done and
there is no opportunity for it to update anything.
The only way data can be updated is if the client
requests it, which means you'll have to force the
client to refresh. If it's a browser, set the
appropriate header or include the co
Hello!
Forgive this very newbie-ish question. If someone
could point me in the right direction I would
appreciate it.
Is it possible/feasible to have .jsp page refresh the
data it's displaying when the data on the backend
changes? For example if I have a .jsp page that
queries and displays data f
