Folks,

I have a single servlet, ReportDispatcher, that serves up a wide variety of
reports, some of which are drill-downs from a parent. The parent report is
created by a POST to the servlet from a range selection UI. Unfortunately,
after you go to a drill-down report and then hit the Back button, IE and
Netscape both give a "Page Expired" warning and force you to repost. This
has the additional unfortunate side-effect of requerying the database.

Is there a way to avoid this? I've found a few things on the web, but they
simply say "Don't POST". A GET is a bit impractical, however, since I may be
sending a list of, say, 50-100 departments to include in the query. I tried
the archives, but if there's anything there is must be under far different
search terms than I am using (Page Expired Warning Java servlet HTTP POST).

Is GET the only way out here?

I have tried setting the page expiration, to no avail.

Thanks in advance.
